Preparation matters more than timing
The most common reason businesses in Chicago take longer to sell or sell below asking price is not a lack of buyers. It is a lack of preparation. Buyers expect clean financials, documented operations, and a clear answer to why you are selling. Owners who prepare 12 to 24 months in advance consistently achieve better outcomes than those who enter the market reactive.
