Exiting a business involves a complex mix of strategic, legal, financial, and emotional decisions. For owners of small and middle-market businesses, this process can be particularly daunting—you are the experts on running your business NOT exiting your business!  Effective exit planning is an educational process. 

You thought it up. You built it up. Can you really let it go? While you've done your best to never let business be personal, the idea of selling the business you've poured your blood, sweat, and tears into is probably leaving you surprisingly emotional.
