The Best Person to Sell Your Euro Asian Restaurant

An unassisted business sale is a double-edged sword. Few people know your business as well as you do. However, your close connection to your company can also be a drawback. Nearly all sellers have an inflated sense of their company's value.

Employee sales have pros and cons. A faithful employee may have the motivation and ability to continue to operate the business. If you need to sell quickly, the timeframe is condensed in an employee sale because you don't need to track down a buyer. However, some employees feel they are entitled to special treatment and pricing, especially if they have played a key role in the company's success.
