considerable knowledge and expertise on the industry.\u00a0 His previous book <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built to Sell<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was listed as one of the best business books of 2011.\u00a0 In this article, we will explore some of the key points in Warrilow\u2019s latest book, which is entitled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Art of Selling Your Business: Winning Strategies and Secret Hacks for Exiting on Top<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 This book was released on January 12<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 2021 and is proving to be invaluable for business owners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Selling When the Time is Right<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One key focal point of the book is that business owners should skip trying to find the perfect \u201cmagical time\u201d to sell their business.\u00a0 Additionally, Warrilow notes, \u201cI make the strong recommendation in the book that the best time to sell your company is not during some mysterious macroeconomic environment.\u00a0 It is when someone is willing to buy it and you get an offer.\u00a0 And that is because at that point, you\u2019re in the position of strength.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The DIY Approach\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This book reinforces the fact that business owners truly need to work with an intermediary if they are to achieve optimal results.\u00a0 Warrilow even includes his six reasons for why every business owner should hire a business broker or M&amp;A advisor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many business owners think that they can simply handle selling their business on their own.\u00a0 But the simple fact is that business owners usually have no experience in selling a business.\u00a0 Add this to the fact that selling their business is likely to be the most important financial decision the business owner ever makes, and it quickly becomes clear that business owners are doing themselves a considerable disservice when they opt to handle everything on their own.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A Business Broker vs. a Lawyer<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Warrilow points out, oftentimes business owners think that rather than working with a business broker or M&amp;A advisor, they can turn to a trusted lawyer who has served them in the past.\u00a0 But this thinking is flawed when it comes to successfully selling a business.\u00a0 As Warrilow states, \u201ca lawyer, almost by default, is going to be very conservative as everything exposes a lawyer to risk.\u00a0 And that is why using a traditional attorney is almost always a mistake.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are planning to sell your business now or in the future, a book like Warrilow\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Art of Selling Your Business: Winning Strategies and Secret Hacks for Exiting on Top <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can serve as a uniquely valuable tool in your toolbox.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7055\"
