Synopsis:

When the Buyer Is Already in the Building

For owners who want more than a transaction, Bankable Buyer explores one of the most overlooked—and most misunderstood—exit paths: selling a business to the people who already know it best.

Through real-world scenarios, behind-the-scenes analysis, and practical reflection, this book examines what it takes to prepare a management team to become a credible buyer—and what owners must consider long before an exit is forced by circumstance.

This is not a how-to manual or a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a clear-eyed look at readiness, risk, and responsibility—for both sellers and future owners.

If protecting your people, your culture, and your legacy matters as much as the numbers, this book belongs on your desk.
