Businessman Checking Contract

Here are a few key takeaways from the article:

🔍 Common Deal Breakers in Business Sales

  • Lack of Preparation: Both buyers and sellers often underestimate the level of detail and planning required.
  • Unrealistic Expectations: Sellers may overvalue their business, while buyers may expect too much for too little.
  • Poor Communication: Misunderstandings or lack of transparency can derail negotiations.
  • Due Diligence Issues: Problems uncovered during this phase — or the behavior of advisers — can cause trust to break down.
  • Emotional Factors: Seller’s remorse or buyer indecision can stop a deal in its tracks.
  • Financing Challenges: Even interested buyers may struggle to secure the necessary funds.
