Someone Wants to Buy My Business, and I Don't Know What I'm Actually Selling — How to Prepare Information and Questions for Advisers, Understand the Stages of Discussions, and Compare Exit Terms for a Small Business Without Mistaking the First Offer for Money in the Bank
Someone wants to buy your business.
Congratulations! You may be about to receive the financial reward for years of hard work, sleepless nights, difficult customers, and pretending that everything is under control.
There's just one small problem.
You have absolutely no idea what you're actually selling.
The buyer is talking about enterprise value, equity, working capital adjustments, due diligence, deferred consideration, and an earn-out. Your lawyer has sent you a document containing forty-seven pages of provisions you don't understand. Your accountant wants more information. Your business partner thinks the company is worth twice as much.
Meanwhile, you've already started looking at houses by the sea.
Perhaps wait until someone actually transfers the money.
In Someone Wants to Buy My Business, and I Don't Know What I'm Actually Selling, Max Paradox takes you through the confusing, expensive, occasionally absurd process of selling a small business.
With practical explanations, realistic examples, and sharp observational humor, this book helps you understand what matters before an attractive proposal turns into a complicated collection of obligations.
You'll discover how to distinguish selling shares from selling business assets, identify what a purchaser would actually acquire, and understand why buyers assess your company differently from you. You'll learn how to interpret financial information, recognize the difference between accounting profit and cash flow, and prepare business records without turning your office into an archaeological excavation.
You'll also learn how to approach the people who can help you navigate the transaction. What should you ask a lawyer, accountant, tax specialist, or financial adviser? How do you understand their recommendations, compare their fees, and remain responsible for your own decisions?
The book explores the practical stages of an acquisition, from the first conversation and indicative offer through due diligence, negotiations, signing, closing, and operational handover.
Most importantly, it explains why the biggest headline price isn't necessarily the best offer. A proposal involving immediate payment can be very different from one promising a larger amount through deferred instalments, performance targets, and continuing responsibilities.
You'll examine what happens when due diligence uncovers a problem, the buyer withdraws, shareholders disagree, or the company is under financial pressure. You'll also discover why retaining a minority stake doesn't necessarily mean retaining control.
And because a business sale affects more than financial statements, the book considers confidentiality, employee concerns, family expectations, and the surprisingly difficult question of what you might do after leaving the company.
This isn't a substitute for professional legal, tax, or financial advice. It is a practical guide to understanding the questions, decisions, risks, and conversations involved so that you can use specialist advice more effectively.
Whether you've received your first acquisition inquiry, are already negotiating with a buyer, or simply want to understand what a future exit might involve, this book will help you approach the process with greater clarity.
You spent years building your business. You deserve to understand the terms before agreeing to sell it.
And remember: an offer of five million is exciting. Five million actually arriving, under terms you understand, is an entirely different achievement.
