About Your Instructor: Linda Rose
I probably started out just like you…creating a business from scratch.Making one hiring decision after another until I realized I was actually pretty good, servicing my clients, and creating a fulfilling and enjoyable place to work for my employees.
But after many years as an owner, there comes a time when you start thinking of selling.
Ultimately, I’m an example of what’s possible for you. I have personally sold three of my own companies, one for 100% cash while being able to exit 45 days after my sale.
As a CEO, I learned the hard way and made many mistakes selling my companies; now, I make sure my clients and students don’t make those same mistakes.
After selling my companies, I transitioned to a sell-side M&A advisor, where I have helped companies from $1M to $80M successfully navigate the challenges of putting their company on the market without letting their employees, customers, vendors and, most importantly, competitors know that they are entertaining multiple offers.
As an M&A advisor, I provide advanced support to my clients in the preparation of documents, data rooms, and detailed financials. I work side-by-side with them through the lengthy process of vetting and ultimately finding the perfect buyer. In short, I know what it means to sell a company successfully!
Now, I have leveraged my experience as a CEO of multiple technology services companies, CPA, author of Get Acquired for Millions, creator of the Ready…Set…SELL (Your Company) course, and successful M&A advisor to offer you this course: Getting Your Financials Ready for a Sale!
Join me on this journey, so I can help you GET ACQUIRED FOR MILLIONS too!
