Owners selling their business and staying on is a growing phenomenon. Whether they went to market just seeking an “elevator deal” (i.e., some additional capital to grow the business) or they decide to stick around for a “second bite of the apple,” business owners seem to not be quite ready to let go these days. As long as transaction multiples stay at record high levels, this trend is almost sure to continue if not strengthen. While this is an obvious attraction for many sellers – or else it wouldn’t be happening – it comes with added complications.
