How Facebook Sold My Salon and How I Chose the Right Buyer | The Truth About Selling My Salon, Part 3
Nine months.
That’s how long I waited to publicly tell people that Salon Lace was for sale.
Not because I wasn’t ready to sell.
I was.
But I was TERRIFIED of what people would think.
Would they assume the salon was failing? Would people talk? Would clients panic? Would former team members create their own version of the story?
And probably the scariest thought…
What if I told everyone my salon was for sale and nobody wanted to buy it?
So for nine months, I tried to do it quietly.
Until I finally realized something:
No one can buy a business they don’t know is for sale.
I finally got brave enough to make the Facebook post.
And then… because apparently I had completely lost my mind 😂… I listed my 13-year-old business on freaking Facebook Marketplace.
You guys.
THAT is how the woman who ultimately bought Salon Lace found me.
In Part 3 of The Truth About Selling My Salon, I’m telling you the entire story.
We’re talking about why I didn’t use a broker, how I screened potential buyers, why I turned down THREE offers, how I knew when I finally found the right buyer, and what happened once we moved into the Letter of Intent, earnest money, due diligence, and all the legal details that came with actually selling the business.
And if there is one thing I want you to take from this episode:
PUT. EVERYTHING. IN. WRITING. 👏🏼
