Selling Your Business: A Guide For Entrepreneurs

Why choose to sell your business instead of pursuing an IPO? How do you determine the right valuation and price? Can you manage the transition from founder-CEO to employed-CEO? In this episode of P&L, we dive into the complexities of selling a business with Raymond Chou, Founder of Owners Circle and a seasoned entrepreneur who’s successfully navigated this process more than once.

Selling a business is about more than just money—it’s about timing, preparation, and making sure your business finds the right new home. From choosing M&A over an IPO to balancing valuation with values, Raymond shares insights from his own experiences and the nuances founders need to navigate for a successful exit.

We explore practical tips for preparing your business, the unique challenges of transitioning from founder-CEO to an employed role under new ownership, and whether it's possible for founders to protect both company culture and their team during a sale.

Whether you’re considering a future sale or just curious about the journey, tune in to learn the ins and outs of a well-planned exit.
