  • "Preparing For and Selling Your Business"
    Mar 8 2022

    Jay Steinfeld joins us for his second interview. In our first interview with Jay we talked about how he built his business. That interview was appropriately done on "The Business Builders Show".

    In this interview we discussed how Jay and his team prepared their business to be sold to The Home Depot and why Jay stayed for 7 years after the sale was completed. This was a ``Contractor Succession" podcast interview, because that's what we do at www.contractorsuccession.com, help business owners prepare their business for sale or for some form of exit.
