Map the handoff before promising a quick exit
Write down the work you do in a typical week. Compare that list with the responsibilities your employees can already handle without you.
A transition can include training, vendor introductions and limited follow-up work. Set its scope in writing rather than agreeing to remain available indefinitely.
Test how much the operation depends on you
A company can have strong earnings yet need the owner in every daily decision. Explain who manages customers, staff and purchasing, and what a replacement manager would cost.
Work with your accountant to distinguish one working owner's benefit from earnings after a manager is paid. Those are different operating assumptions and can support different buyer discussions.
For a Bloomfield valuation discussion, prepare the earnings adjustments alongside the underlying records. Keep the working assumptions explicit.
Specify the transition you can offer
Discuss a training schedule, introductions and the point at which routine calls become paid assistance. A well-defined handoff can help a buyer without leaving you permanently tied to the company.
Before accepting a Bloomfield buyer's proposal, compare immediate and deferred payments. Have your advisers explain the effect on usable proceeds and continuing exposure.
