Business Life Cycle

 

Business Life Cycle

Every product, service and business has a selling life cycle. Do you know a business sells on an average of every 3 to 5 years? Especially a good one. Like a home sells on an average of 7.5 years or a car about every 2.5 years. Business Brokers know this selling cycle and use it to their advantage to get a Business Owner to list her/his business lower. If you understand your company’s selling cycle, and prepare for that time then you could get more business value and more equity at that time of the sale or exit.
