Good times to sell a business include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The company is growing rapidly<\/li>\n<li>Your company performs remarkably better than the rest of the marketplace<\/li>\n<li>You have a very attractive customer base<\/li>\n<li>You have capital available with your company<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The growth potential of a company or start-up is critical to its sale. If the future is expected to look good, that is obviously very attractive to investors. Rising sales and stable profit margins indicate a healthy business.
