Optimum: LIVE Episode 20 – Things to Consider Before Selling a Business

Thinking of selling your business? In this episode of Optimum: LIVE, Chris and Michael explore the essential steps every business owner should take before starting the sale process.

Selling up isn’t just about agreeing a sale price — it's about preparation, structure, and understanding the tax and legal implications. Whether you're looking to retire, cash in, or move on to your next venture, this episode is packed with practical insights.

They discuss:

• Why timing matters when planning a business sale
• The importance of financial clarity and tidy accounts
• How your business structure can impact tax and legal outcomes
• What buyers really want to see during due diligence
• When to involve accountants, solicitors, and advisors in the process

Whether you’re planning to sell in a year or five, it's never too early to start thinking ahead.
