What can you do to prepare your business for sale?


Will you remain with the business after the transaction, if so, in what role?


What will happen to your employees?


Who is likely to buy all or part of your company and what is the process to find these buyers?

Christopher J. Andersen – President and Founder
I have 25 years of professional experience as an entrepreneur that helped build six companies or divisions, some of which we sold. I founded Atlas after a career that included: GM of a new division for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, selling a consumer products company to A&E Television Networks, founding a database marketing company and was part of the management that built three other companies in the financial, professional and personal services industries. Currently, I am the President of the Association for Corporate Growth’s San Francisco Chapter.
