In part one of our two-part Cascade Conversations series on Sell-Side Readiness, Cascade Managing Director Eric Green sits down with Patrick Degnan, Attorney at Clark Hill PLC, to unpack what every business owner should know before selling their company.

From deciding when to start planning to understanding the key steps in the sale process, Green and Degnan explore how to position your business to maximize value. They dive into the nuances between asset and equity sales, navigating contracts and change-of-control provisions, and the timing for bringing in professional advisors.

You’ll also hear how operational improvements can influence valuation and what to look for in a purchase agreement—so you’re never caught off guard.

Whether you’re planning a sale soon or just starting to think ahead, this episode offers practical, actionable insights to help you get ready.
