Balancing Price, Terms, and Legacy
When Selling Your Business
Most founders only get one opportunity to sell their business. The consequences of getting it wrong can last far longer than the deal itself.
In The Private Equity Advantage, Scott Hanson demystifies the business sale process and emphasizes the role private equity can play when structured thoughtfully. Drawing on firsthand experience founding, scaling, and selling businesses for both Fortune 500 companies and private equity firms, Scott offers a clear-minded approach for owners navigating this pivotal transition.
The book addresses not only valuation and deal structure, but the personal realities founders face: identity, control, post-sale roles, and what comes next. Through expert interviews, real-world case studies, and decision frameworks, readers gain the confidence to move forward with complete clarity.
