As a business owner, if you're thinking about the sale of your company as being the singular event that will finally eliminate all of the risks that you've personally assumed for so many years, then I hate to be the one to tell you this, but: Think again.  Indeed, in my experience, the single biggest myth about selling a company is that the seller bears no further risk after the sale of his or her company is completed. In most cases, especially with respect to the sale of SMBs, this is simply not true.  In this audio blog, I will share with you some of the more common ways in which sellers may still bear some risk (in some cases, material risk) even after the consummation of the sale transaction. Though this list isn’t an exhaustive one, you should expect to encounter at least some of these sources of risk when the time comes time for you to sell your own business, so it’s worth educating yourself on them from now. As it relates to certain of these risks, I also share certain tools and strategies to eliminate or mitigate these risks as best as possible.
