Behind The Numbers: Business Sale Breakdown

Presented by: Sarah Petty, Virtual CFO and Founder of Olive Business Partners

The Business Sale That Fell Apart At The Last Minute

Selling your business is a huge decision, but what happens when you've gone through the entire process and the deal doesn’t go through?

In this session, we take you behind the scenes of a business sale that was months in the making. Everything was on track. Due diligence was completed, contracts were reviewed, and timelines were agreed, until a last-minute hesitation from the investors caused the deal to collapse. The fallout was significant, but it also became a turning point for the business.

We’ll unpack what went wrong, what could have been done differently, and how the owners rebuilt value for a stronger future sale.

You’ll walk away with:

• A real-world example of how deals can fall apart and why
• Key financial and operational factors buyers look for
• Practical steps to prepare your business for a successful exit
• Access to the replay to watch in your own time

This session is essential for business owners thinking about succession, sale, or simply building a more valuable business.
