"For close to twenty years I have observed Mr. Chalfin helping owners, business advisors, and students get a grip on the slippery issues of selling a business. This book is a valuable distillation of his expertise."

"Bob Chalfin's experience and intellect make this book essential reading for IT business owners. He provides thoughtful analysis and practical advice invaluable to anybody who is even considering selling their business.

"[Bob Chalfin] applies the same level of energy and enthusiasm that he brings in the classroom to this very practical book. I have had many people come up to me and tell me if they had only known Bob or read his book before they sold their business, they would be in a much different and better situation. His knowledge of the topic is unbelievable and he brings so much practical experience to his latest book."
- Justin Berman, Wharton MBA
