This Owner Checklist is the starting point so we can help you Sell your Business
We aren’t like a lot of business brokers…Metro’s process revolves around collaborating with owners to learn the unique ins and outs of your business. Before listing your business for sale, providing a valuation, or helping you with succession planning, we’ll need to review the items on this checklist.
Please compile the following information
to allow us to assess how best to help in your pursuit of your Life Beyond Business:™
