Selling a business in Orem.
Owner-run companies often mix personal and business expenses. Before a sale, work with your accountant to show clearly which costs are personal, so a buyer sees the business's true earnings.
If your lease is coming up, talk to your landlord before you go to market. Buyers and their lenders will want to know the business can stay where it is.
For the whole process, from preparation and valuation to the kinds of buyers and Utah's tax steps, read How to sell your company in Utah.
