Why You Need a Business Advisor: The Secret to Successfully Selling Your Business

Sponsored by: 

When you’re thinking of buying or selling your business, don’t even consider going it alone, Transworld CEO Andy Cagnetta tells SFBW editor-in-chief Drew Limsky. There’s too much that can go haywire—including your emotions. Dispassionate valuations and negotiations don’t mix well with someone’s life’s work.

Cagnetta, the CEO of the 26-year-old Fort Lauderdale-based business advisory company that specializes in business brokerage, franchise consulting and franchise development company, makes a convincing case for hiring the experts. “We tell people that we sell other people’s businesses,” he says. And what the seller should be doing during this process, he emphasizes, is continue to run their business—and nothing else—while the sales saga unfurls, under the direction of the professionals at Transworld Business Advisors
