On Take the Stage, presented by Haley Marketing, we bring you the BEST speakers, coaches, trainers, and strategic partners from across the staffing and recruiting industry every other week. More than your standard interview, each conversation is built off of a specific session or topic these industry thought leaders bring to conferences and audiences around the country.

Selling a staffing agency is a deeply personal decision that can be influenced by various factors such as retirement, the need for additional investment, burnout, or being approached by potential buyers. To attract attention from potential buyers, staffing firms should have a clear vision, strong value proposition, and a good reputation. The market for selling staffing agencies has been down, but there are still transactions happening, especially in the lower middle market. Preparation is key when considering a sale, and it's important to understand the valuation process, potential buyers, and how to maximize the value of the business. Customer concentration and the strength of the internal team are important factors that buyers consider. It's also crucial to maintain customer relationships and prepare the team for the transition.
