Some businesses can’t survive without the owners trying to do everything themselves. And there are no key employees in place to help manage the operations.

Buyers for businesses like these may be concerned if they themselves can’t replace the skills and experience of the owner. As a result, these businesses may have very little value to anyone else.

Business owners who don’t delegate need to make a strong effort to have experienced key people in place before they ever try to sell their companies.
