You're essentially selling a job right now, unless you're completely removed from operations and new business development, but it sounds like you aren't. It would also depend on how well you retain your clients and how profitably your new customer acquisition will run without you (the degree to which your personal network pulls business.)

Would expect you to be able to sell for high five or low six figures, assuming you're currently fairly involved and there's no contracts, moat around clients, or special sauce in customer acquisition.

Why not hire a good manager instead? It sounds like you could pay them well, still pay yourself, and make your business more valuable if they can grow it without you in the critical path. They could also potentially contribute to the product.

Ya. Totally. The good manager is my Plan B if I don't get an offer I want. We have loyal clients that most companies are hot for + a great workflow, so hopefully that translates into more than just a job..
