Tough Questions - Selling a Pharmacy

Most business owners find that selling their business is one of the most important events in their life, both professionally and personally. Handled properly, it can be very rewarding. Handled poorly, it can become a perilous chore especially if employees, customers, vendors, and competition learn the business is for sale.

Selling a pharmacy is a complicated process that involves many difficult decisions. For most owners the pharmacy is their biggest personal asset. It is difficult being impartial after years of work growing the business. Some of the issues are:

How do I find a suitable and qualified buyer?
How long does the process take?
How do I keep the process confidential?
How will I document the transfer?
How will a buyer value my business?

Tough questions because each one impacts a subset of issues that require close attention.
