A Successful Business Founder and Owner Ready to Retire
When David was in his early 30s, he started his own company. Now that he’s been at the helm of a thriving organization for several years, David is very proud of what he has built. However, as he nears retirement age, he’s beginning to wonder how his company will continue to thrive with someone else in charge. While he values his associates, there’s no one internally that he feels would be quite right for the job, and his children are busy pursuing their own dreams. Therefore, David is looking for the right buyer—one that will treat the clients he’s spent years building relationships with as well as he does.
