All too often, business owners go to sell their business and find that the value wasn't what they were expecting. Sometimes that's a positive thing, and it's often a negative.

This week on P&L, Patrick Lange joined me to discuss business valuations, why you need them before you even think about selling a business, and the emotions that are often tied to that number. We talk about what owners need to expect when selling their business, why it's important to be realistic about what it's worth, and the transition process that happens when businesses are passed down to children.

Tune in this week on P&L to learn your business's true value.

"You know, we are human beings and the emotional part of it is absolutely real." - Rob Schulz

"Some people who have a business that's worth a million dollars, they'll say, if I can get above $150,000, I take it. I have others with a business that's worth a million dollars, and they tell me they're not going to leave for less than 10 million." - Patrick Lange
