About Christopher Michael Wick

Let\'s be honest: You have spent *decades* learning how to build your business. …but have you ever learned how to sell it? The tragic reality is that **92%** of business owners never successfully exit. They simply shut their doors or liquidate for pennies on the dollar. And for the 8% who do sell? Most leave 30% to 50% of their value on the table because they sell to the *wrong* buyer, at the *wrong* time or *without* a strategic valuation defense. The key to a maximum-value exit is not \"luck\" or just \"hard work\" It\'s experienced strategy.I am an M&A Advisor + Investor who has personally bought and exited over 30 companies across e-commerce, real estate and business services.
