The 6-Step Trap That Turns Your Sale Into a Fraction #sellingyourbusiness #businessexit

It starts generous and safe. You sell, you agree to stay on. Then it turns, one step at a time. You lose real control because it isn't your company anymore, it's theirs. The motivation goes. The numbers slip. You miss the earnout. And you walk away with a fraction of the headline number.

Here's the part nobody puts in the pitch deck: the buyer is not betting on your business. He's betting on your stamina. The structure assumes you stay cooked, hungry, and in the chair for years.

The headline price was never the real price. The structure was. See the trap before the ink dries, not after.
