Selling the business you spent decades building is one of the largest financial decisions of your life. Buying a business is a large financial commitment. Both come with paperwork most owners have never seen before — valuation reports, purchase agreements, earn-out structures, transition plans. The questions below are the ones worth answering before the meeting, not after.

• What should I understand financially before buying a business?

• How do I determine what a business is actually worth?

• What financial risks should I evaluate before making a decision?

• What insurance or coverage should be in place before closing?

• How does buying or selling a business affect my taxes?

• What should I have in place to protect myself in the transaction?

• Strategies to retain employees
