Selling your Business with Brandon Kuchta - Ep. 143

<p>My guest on this episode is Brandon Kuchta, the former CEO of Analytical Technologies Group, which provides repair, maintenance, and contract services for lab instruments. I say former because he sold ATG last October, and today&#39;s episode is going to cover all things selling a company from determining the right timing, what is typical in a process, and communication across stakeholders. We also talk about life after the sale, including Brandon&#39;s consulting period with the new owners and how operators can relax and give themselves a well-deserved and often much-needed break. Enjoy.</p><p>Listen weekly and follow the show on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/think-like-an-owner/id1445929750" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3Fbv9d4HpDwuO4MOPvgdvO?si=bfa67fb76c654755" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5yZWRjaXJjbGUuY29tLzI1ODM4YjdlLTdlZTgtNGZjMC05ZjU0LTViNjJkZDNmZTBjNg" rel="nofollow">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://www.breaker.audio/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Breaker</a>, and <a href="https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Think-Like-An-Owner-p1180625/" rel="nofollow">TuneIn</a>. </p><p><strong><u>Links:</u></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-kuchta-5b7338a7/" rel="nofollow">Brandon Kuchta on LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://sevenspringspartners.com/" rel="nofollow">Seven Springs Partners</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Topics:</u></strong></p><p>(2:31) - What was the business you ran and what was the process for selling it?</p><p>(4:09) - How did you know it was the right time to sell the business?</p><p>(7:03) - What advice did you get from other folks about selling a business and planning for life after the sale?</p><p>(8:27) - How long was it between deciding to sell and selling the business? </p><p>(9:25) - What sorts of things would you do to pr
