Selling a business in Sandy.
A lot of Sandy companies are trades and service businesses built around an owner's relationships. Buyers will want to know how much of the business depends on you, so the most valuable preparation is often handing relationships and decisions to your team before you sell.
Service businesses are valued on how steady their work is. Recurring customers, maintenance agreements and a backlog you can show on paper all help.
