Not every business sale should be public. Employees, customers, and competitors don't always need to know you're exploring a transition. Here's how to market a business for sale while keeping its identity confidential 👇 smb.co/blog/how-to-market-a-…

CPAs usually know a business is selling before anyone else 😅 And the cleanup they do 12–24 months before a sale often determines whether owners keep (or lose) serious money at closing. Read the full guide for CPAs -> smb.co/blog/cpas-guide-to-he…

Most owners don’t leave money on the table because they negotiated poorly. They leave it there years earlier in messy financials, owner dependency, weak systems, and waiting too long to prepare. Full guide for owners -> smb.co/blog/how-to-sell-a-sm…

Most small businesses don’t get sold. They close. Indiana just launched “Keep IN” to help owners prepare earlier for succession and continuity — and we’re honored SMB.co is part of it ❤️ view.subscription.in.gov/?va…

SMB.co turned 2 last week 🎉 2 years of building for business owners, advisors, & buyers and the future of Main Street. Still obsessed with the mission. Still believe businesses deserve better tools, transparency, & support. We’re just getting started ❤️

Big day for Main Street! Joe Brown, co-founder of SMB.co, is speaking today at the 2026 ETA Conference at the University of Cincinnati. More entrepreneurs are buying existing businesses instead of starting from scratch and we’re proud to help support that.

Most deals don’t break on price. They break in diligence. Great advisors don’t react to it. They prepare for it months in advance -> smb.co/blog/how-to-prepare-a…
