Use This Book to Protect Your Deal—and Your Legacy

Selling your business isn’t just a financial event—it’s a personal one. After years of hard work, risk, and responsibility, you deserve more than a process filled with uncertainty and regret.

Deal Killers was written for business owners who want to sell on their terms—not leave money on the table or get blindsided in due diligence.

This guide exposes the most common (and costly) mistakes that derail sales—often after months of negotiation. You’ll learn what serious buyers look for, where deals fall apart, and how to avoid the red flags that cause businesses to sit on the market or die at the closing table.

Whether you're preparing to exit soon or just planning ahead, this book will help you protect what you’ve built—and walk away with a deal you’re proud of.
