Mike built his first company to 50 people, and after ten years of growth, he decided to sell. However, after several attempts to work out deals with multiple buyers, Mike's investment bank told him that his business was just not in a position to sell.\nAlthough this is something any decent investment bank or M&A Advisor should know before taking a company on as a client, Mike spent the next four years fixing the mistakes in his business and eventually sold the company.\nResigned to not letting other small business owners go through his pain, today, Mike shares with us how to position small businesses for successful exits at Exit Oasis.\nWe hope you enjoy the conversation with Mike Finger.\nWHERE TO FIND MIKE FINGER:\nLinkedIn\nThe Wise Exit is an Exitwise Production.
