    My family is considering a sale of our manufacturing business. How realistic is a successful sale?

    @srdtrinity Thank you for this input. Yes these numbers are excluding things like insurance policies we have cashed and other misc income/expenses. I’m thinking I have not been realistic enough with myself. I agree with the 3 options you laid out, obviously number 3 is out. My aunt is set on...

    My family is considering a sale of our manufacturing business. How realistic is a successful sale?

    Some background: My family has owned and operated a small contract manufacturing business for 40 years now. I came on in 2019 to continue and eventually take control of the business. I've wrestled at length with this, and have decided that I need to leave the company meaning we have to look...
