When Is It Time to Sell the Family Business? Deciding to sell your family business can be one of the hardest and most emotional decisions an owner will ever face. In this episode of Family Business Breakthroughs, host Jim Berner sits down with Ken Koger, Partner at Meridian Associates, to pull back the curtain on what really happens during the sale process. With over 30 years serving multi-generational companies, Meridian has guided countless families through business valuations, transitions, and mergers with confidentiality, care, and clarity. Jim and Ken unpack the real-world signs it may be time to sell, from burnout and shifting markets, to lack of succession plans, and share practical ways to increase your company’s value before you sell.
