The business owners who walk away with the most money aren't the ones who got lucky with their buyer. They're the ones who started financial planning 2 to 3 years before listing. This guide covers the full timeline - what to do 24-36 months out, in the year before listing, during the deal itself, and after closing. Entity structure, tax modeling, retirement contributions, estate planning, insurance transitions and how to build an advisory team that protects what you've spent
