I own two small companies, 1.5million in sales combined. Owned them for more that 20yrs. Getting older and thinking of selling, would like to sell by end of 2025.

Not sure how to go about selling. Any ideas?

I'm a business broker. Many of us offer free Opinions of Value and won't charge for a quick consultation. As we get paid once the business is sold.
I have many potential client planning to sell a few years from now. I provide them with some basic feedback like reduce client concentration or clean up your books in the hopes of building a relationship and trust, so we can represent them when they are ready to sell.
