Great article and insight into a somewhat opaque process.

I sold my company in 2014 and the biggest surprise to me was how long and time consuming the process was. It really impaired my ability to run the company as efficiently as I would have liked during the transition process. And the stress of having to meet with buyers, but not being able to fully communicate the scope of the meetings to the team until the appropriate time was significant.

Yup! Don't engage in the acquisition process unless you want to commit to it -- it will suck out all your time.
