The Emotional Aspects of Selling a Business
|
|
Written by: Jim Afinowich
In a business sale, the greatest value of attorneys and CPAs may be their ability to respect what their clients are going through.
Phone calls from corporate and transactional attorneys are everyday occurrences at our office, especially when the sale of a client's company is nearing completion. But this call was a little different.
"Doug" was calling not to discuss a contract provision or a step in the due diligence process, but to let off a little steam that had built up in his relationship with "Nick," our common client, who was in the home stretch of the sale of his $15 million wholesale produce company.
"I don't know what's going on with Nick," Doug began, with a touch of exasperation in his voice. "He's been a friend of mine and a client of our law firm for more than ten years, and he's always been the consummate business owner - a solid thinker, a clear communicator, and a reasonable risk taker who never let emotions keep him from making good business decisions." Doug paused, presumably for a sip of coffee. "But ever since this sale began to look like it was going to happen, he's not the same Nick."
"What do you mean, Doug?" I asked, pretending not to know the answer.
"I don't know where to start," he replied. "I mean, for two years he's been telling me that he was finally ready to sell out and what he was going to do after the company sold, and he seemed to feel good about this deal. But, Jim, here he is, about to sell his business for a million dollars more than it's worth, with everything looking good, and he's become an absolute basket case.
