1. The trend of baby boomers who will be selling their businesses as they prepare for retirement has not really begun. This allows for a limited inventory of quality businesses on the market, which enhances the value of those businesses.
2. There is a reasonable amount of optimism about the economy in general and the prospects for business growth in 2014.
3. Getting long-term financing for a qualified buyer is a reasonable expectation at the moment.
4. 2013 has just ended, which gives you a full year of positive results to sell.
5. The improving economy provides more opportunities for investing the proceeds from the sale of your business and putting them to work on earning income for you.
