ensuring a smooth transition from you to the new owner of your

company is important for a number of reasons that could impact not

only your reputation but also the prospects for success of the new

ownership and the livelihoods of your loyal employees. That,

during the acquisition process to help make sure the transition

goes as smoothly as possible? Brent Freeman, investment banker and

M&A advisor at The CBB Group, joins us to talk about the ways

that a business owner can work to smooth out the bumps that

sometimes occur when a company transitions from one owner to

another.
