As a business owner, you've poured your heart and soul into building your company. The day might come when you consider selling your business, but the journey from contemplation to transaction is far from straightforward. One of the most powerful realizations in this process is that while you may be considering multiple avenues for a potential sale until you have offers, these remain options.

Higher education institutions have been facing a watershed moment. Flagship universities and brand-name colleges are still drawing enrollees. But the number of colleges that have closed in the last decade (~200) has quadrupled over the previous decade.
