I get asked this constantly: “Do I really need an advisor?” The honest answer is that you can absolutely do it yourself but most founders just don’t realize how heavy it gets while they’re still running the business. Selling a startup ends up being a full-time job on top of the full-time job you already have. You’re still trying to grow, run the team, and keep customers happy, while a buyer’s lawyer is firing off hundreds of diligence questions like it’s their job. Because it is. That’s when deal fatigue kicks in, and that’s usually when leverage quietly starts leaking. This is why founders bring in advisors. Not to sell the business for them, but to protect them when things get messy. A good advisor steps in when buyers try to re-trade late or push aggressive terms, so it doesn’t turn personal. They keep things objective when your product, numbers, or decisions get picked apart, and they manage the clock, because time kills deals and momentum matters more than people think. They also help you prep early by cleaning up books, organizing docs, and reducing surprises before buyers ever show up. None of this is rocket science but all of it matters. You built the business. The goal is getting to the finish line on your terms. PS - If you’re thinking about a sale now or down the road, this is exactly the kind of support we provide founders every day at @acquiredotcom.

Most buyers assume sellers are desperate. After 2,000+ exits, @agazdecki says that's wrong — and it's costing buyers deals. In today's episode of Behind the Acquisition, we break down what Andrew has learned about how sellers actually think — and how buyers can use that to move faster, negotiate smarter, and close more deals.
