StretchLearn Course
A step-by-step playbook to get sale-ready, find the right buyer, and negotiate terms that protect your payout.
Course Overview
Most owners only sell a business once, and the gap between an average exit and a great one is often six or seven figures. This course shows you exactly how value is calculated, how to make your company more sellable in the 12 to 36 months before a sale, and how to navigate brokers, buyer types, due diligence, and deal structures like earn-outs and seller notes. You will leave with the working tools to run a disciplined, well-prepared exit.
