Sunday retail management advice: how to sell your retail business when no one is interested

There is one very important but often overlooked method that will greatly increase the time required to sell a small retail business – a simple for sale sign in the window. This tactic is often not used for fear that it may drive away employees or customers. If done with the right attitude, this need not be the case.

Key Takeaways:

• Small and independent retail businesses can be a challenge to sell even in a strong economy.
• Putting a sign in your window will tell your employees, customers and suppliers that you want to sell up and move on.
• Own that decision, embrace it, stop worrying what people will think.
