Funny, entertaining, sobering, and informational – &#8220tales from the trenches&#8221 by Doug Robbins, a master intermediary who always finds a way to help owners restructure or sell their business.

Through these tales Robbins highlights best practices for working with accountants, lawyers, and bankers in forming up and conducting a sale; ingenious ways to increase the worth of a business before selling; the importance of confidentiality before and during a sale; and ways for family businesses to do what’s best for both the family and the business.
