Deborah Everson shares her journey of turning around a struggling retail business and successfully exiting it. She emphasizes the importance of maximizing transferable business value and creating options for clients. Deborah and her husband went through a two-year process of preparing their business for sale, including updating inventory, improving systems, and getting their finances in order.

Inspired by their own experience, Deborah now helps other small businesses increase their value and plan for a successful exit. Like, share, comment, and subscribe.
