Selling your business is a major decision! You've devoted your time, money, energy, into building, running, and operating your business.

Duke Business Advisors
Where are you in your business lifecycle? In the privately held business world, most of the wealth of the majority of business owners, is tied up in the illiquid value of their business. So logically, it makes sense to treat your business as an investment, rather than just a job. Unfortunately, that is too often not the case.
With the end goal of helping owners of privately held businesses to generate more savings and improve their lifestyles, Duke Business Advisors offers the following services:
· Business Value Growth Consulting for owners with growth or profitability challenges
· Owner Exit Strategy Planning for owners wanting a more profitable exit in the next few years
· Business Sales Services for owners wanting to sell or transfer their businesses in the near future
At Duke Business Advisors we provide comprehensive business services wherever you are in your business lifecycle.
Business Growth Consulting
If your business is struggling or just not performing as you would like, we offer business growth consulting. This is important to make your life better now by providing more personal time and money as well as to prepare for that day when you want to or need to turn your illiquid business investment liquid. Remember your business is likely your largest investment. Doesn't it make sense to nurture and grow the value of your largest investment the same as you would any other investment?
We combine our hands-on and proven experience with cutting-edge techniques and technology such as the Value Builder System ™, CoreValue Business Value Growth System and The OwnersPath, our free 12 key element business success assessment, to provide an option for business growth and valuation enhancement in Charlotte that is simply unrivaled.
Exit Planning
At some point, every business owner leaves their business. Just as starting and operating a business, doing so with a well-thought-out plan increases the likelihood of success. Exiting a business is no different. A well-thought-out, intentional exit plan is much more likely to result in choosing the optimal exit approach tailored to your individual goals and likely maximize the dollars you leave with.

This is when working in tandem with a professional business broker or M&A Professional can make the difference between just getting rid of the business and selling it for the very best price and terms! Duke Business Advisors is available to help you evaluate your business’ sell-ability and assess the value the marketplace would put on your business.
