From Here to Retirement

Most small business owners believe that when they want to retire, they’ll simply call a realtor and a buyer will be quickly found. Maybe in a perfect world, but not in the reality of today’s economic climate.

A major Canadian bank claims that it takes on average 12 – 18 months to sell a business from the time of listing.

But it can take months or even years to get a business ready for listing. Regardless of when you plan to retire, NOW is the time to start planning.

Keeping Main Street Open Inc. (KMSO) is here to work with small business owners, to help them plan and prepare to transition with our workshop From Here to Retirement.
