Understanding Market Trends: When Is the Best Time to Sell a Business?

🧭 Why Timing Matters

Timing can make a difference of tens of thousands of dollars when selling your business. Market demand, interest rates, and industry cycles all influence what buyers are willing to pay.

📊 Watch These 3 Key Market Signals

1. Economic Growth – When local business confidence rises, more buyers look to invest.
2. Interest Rates – Lower rates = cheaper borrowing = more active buyers.
3. Industry Momentum – Some sectors (like hospitality & trades) spike seasonally.

💰 Selling During Strength

Businesses sell fastest when their numbers look strong — not when you’re desperate to exit. Start planning 6–12 months before you want to sell.
