Ned Minor is a nationally recognized transaction attorney with 40-plus years of experience helping privately-held businesses with the opportunities, complexities and challenges of mergers and acquisitions. Ned has authored what has become one of the most widely read and respected guides in the field, Deciding to Sell Your Business –The Key to Wealth and Freedom. In his practice and his book, Ned guides business owners through the emotional, legal and financial issues involved in the sale, enabling them to reap top dollar at the closing table. The total purchase/sales consideration the firm has generated for its clients is reaching four billion dollars. Ned describes his approach as different from the harried pace of today's business lawyers. "I am an empathetic listener, counselor and planner. I spend the time necessary with business owners to put them at ease, so that together we can define, design and implement their best exit strategy. Connecting personally while focusing on the end-game is essential.” Ned counsels business owners locally, nationally and across all business sectors and industries. When starting to think about selling their business, owners struggle with "what will I do after I have sold my business?” Until they can envision life after the sale, not much will happen. Once they embrace the "entrepreneurs don't retire – they refocus" frame of mind is when the sales process starts moving forward. “Taking these owners from confusion to clarity and from inaction to action is what drives me every day! Helping my clients achieve their definition of wealth and financial independence puts a smile on their faces – as well as mine.”
