Considerations / Questions to Ask:

How stable is the current client roster, and what safeguards are in place if the owner transitions out?
Are there any exclusive agreements with vendors or stores?
What is the average retainer fee per client?
Can existing employees run operations independently, or is a new owner’s direct involvement required?
What is the timeline and scope of owner transition support?
How is profit calculated, and what adjustments should be made to understand true owner earnings?
