How to build a business and sell it for millions

More about the book

MBA MEETS MAIN STREET presents the positive economic shift every businessperson has been anticipating. Jack Garson predicts that the prolonged downturn will lead to a buying spree by cash-rich companies, potentially opening the door for small and medium-sized businesses to be sold for significant profits. This is an essential moment for anyone pursuing the American dream, whether starting or owning a business. However, preparation is key. Garson provides a comprehensive guide for business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs on how to make their companies appealing to prospective buyers. He emphasizes crucial factors such as establishing a competitive edge, ensuring sustainability, and overcoming the "Founder's Dilemma" that leads to micromanagement. Using real-life examples, Garson illustrates how the intention to sell should influence every business decision—from hiring and compensation to contracts and financial reporting. While many owners focus on day-to-day survival, Garson reveals strategies to seize the opportunity to sell for substantial wealth. This work combines inspiration with practical advice, bridging the gap between MBA principles and real-world application for business success.
