Are You Ready to Sell?
Many entrepreneurs faced with this question may feel that their situation is unique to them. If you can relate to any of the situations detailed below, you may be ready to sell your VMS business.
You’ve Changed
Looking back from when you started your business, to now, are you the same person? Probably not. The success you’ve created, the challenges you’ve overcome, and everything in between has impacted you in one way or another. Maybe you want to be face new challenges or you want to explore, new interests and they may not align with your current business, leaving you to sacrifice one or the other. Selling your business could be the solution to freeing up your time to spend it on what you want.
Here’s an example of how Eric Willin from EZ facility built on his initial passion for managing his business where he now leads multiple brands under Jonas as a portfolio manager.
Retirement and Personal Circumstances
You may be at the stage in your life where you want to retire, enjoy the life you have worked hard to build, and no longer want to actively manage your company. Selling your business could be what gives you this freedom!
Though retirement is most often associated with selling a business for entrepreneurs, there are other life events such as marriage (maybe divorce but hopefully not), or even the birth of a child that may prompt you to reconsider your priorities; these are a few of the many major life changes that often serve as catalysts for introspection and can prompt you to reassess your personal and professional priorities. While the decision to sell your business should never be taken lightly, it’s important to remember that Jonas is always here to talk and structure an exit that meets your needs regardless of what life throws at you.
Matthew Gatter was ready to part ways with his business and found a partner in Jonas that would not only help him transition out of the business but would carry on his legacy.
