Barbara has written a small shelf of books that help entrepreneurs -- especially small business owners -- start, grow, brand, market, and when they're ready, sell their businesses. She is the author or co-author of Small Business Marketing Kit For Dummies, Branding For Dummies, Business Plans Kit For Dummies, and the Guide to Selling Your Small Business, available for free download at BizBuySell.com, the site of the Internet's largest business-for-sale marketplace, with three million visitors a month. Her current focus is on helping small business owners capture a final round of value by selling - not closing - their businesses. From experience, she knows that most small businesses aren't in sale-ready shape when owners want out, and therefore most businesses never sell. Today she's here to talk about what a sale-ready business looks like, how to get your business in sale-ready shape, and what's involved to present the business for sale, find the right buyer, navigate and negotiate the sale process, and manage a successful owner-to-owner transition.
