Guide for NC businesses to build succession plans by identifying leadership gaps, valuing business, addressing tax/legal issues, crafting buy-sell agreements, exploring MBO/ESOP, ensuring leadership continuity, and implementing communication, funding, and governance.
Beyond revenue, business valuation hinges on risk reduction, consistent profitability, and transferability. Focus on diverse customers, steady earnings, strong EBITDA, and owner independence for a higher sale price.
