This week we talk with Rob Taylor. We discuss the vital things to look for when selling your business. The little nuances that are often over looked and the psychological pieces that sellers often forget or should look into deeper.

Robert Taylor has spent a majority of his career in and around the financial industry in various capacities. After stints with firms like JPMorganChase and Wells Fargo, he officially embarked on his entrepreneurial journey and founded the boutique Mergers & Acquisitions advisory firm, Bray Ventures, in 2018. Robert seeks to bring a different approach to M&A transactions for small business founders and owners.

He most enjoys seeing the lasting impacts that a successful closing has on not just the founders, but all of their employees and stakeholders.
