You’ve got to work with new people who will pass judgement on your business and it feels like they speak a different language – so many business owners ignore it for as long as possible.  Refusing to plan for the funding or sale of your business limits your options when the time comes – which can dramatically reduce the amount you get, or even make it impossible to get a transaction done at all.
