Should You Sell Your Business Now or Wait?
Deciding when to sell your business is one of the most important — and often most difficult — choices an owner will ever make. Timing can significantly impact valuation, deal terms, and your long-term financial goals.
At Merit Investment Bank, we understand that no two situations are the same. That’s why we offer a Readiness Assessment and Market Timing Analysis designed to help you make an informed, confident decision about whether to sell now or wait.
A Data-Driven Approach to Timing Your Sale
Our process evaluates key factors that influence the success and value of a potential transaction:
Company performance – We analyze your financial strength, growth trajectory, and operational efficiency to gauge how buyers will view your business.
Market conditions – We assess current M&A activity, interest rates, buyer demand, and valuation trends in your specific industry.
Personal and strategic goals – We align timing with your objectives — whether that’s maximizing value, ensuring legacy continuity, or positioning for future growth.
This comprehensive analysis provides clear insight into where your business stands today and what steps you can take to enhance its value and marketability.
Confidence in Your Next Move
Whether the right decision is to move forward with a sale now or to wait and strengthen your position, Merit Investment Bank will guide you with data, experience, and objective advice — so your timing aligns with both market opportunity and personal readiness.
