This is a good time to sell your business because many corporate executives will find themselves out of work due to all the “right-sizing”.

Those that have been on the fence or have been too comfortable in the past now are genuinely motivated to take destiny into their own hands. Interest rates are at near historical lows. That means there is more unencumbered or free cash flow to work with, which has a positive effect on a critical factor in business valuations (the debt capacity). The greater the debt capacity the greater the corpus or greater the business value limit becomes.
Financing woes have not affected the commercial market like they have with the housing market. Funds are readily available, particularly acquisition funding.
