It starts with what the owner wants.

Selling a business is a once-in-a-lifetime decision for most owners. At the recent Dayton Business Journal Manufacturing Panel, Kate Vriner of Sunbelt shared why her team always starts in the same place: with what the owner actually wants.

The right answer is different for everyone. Some owners want top dollar and a clean break. Others care most about protecting their employees, keeping the company name in the community, or handing the business to the next generation. Each path carries real tradeoffs in price, timing, and risk.

Kate explained that Sunbelt’s job is to lay those options out clearly, so the owner can make an informed decision while still respecting the emotional weight that comes with letting go of something they built.

She also emphasized that an owner should always be able to walk away from a deal that is not right, and that Sunbelt builds its process to protect that.

This is a major life event, not just a transaction, and it deserves patience, discipline, and a clear understanding of what matters most.

At the recent Dayton Business Journal Manufacturing Forum, Kate Vriner of Sunbelt was asked what most often stalls a deal or erodes value.

“Customer concentration is the big one. If 40% of your revenue walks out the door with a single account, every buyer sees risk.

After that, it tends to be messy financials, deferred maintenance on equipment, and an owner who is still the single point of failure for sales, relationships, and know-how.

A ready business looks different: clean books a buyer can trust, a team that can run the floor and manage customer relationships without the owner overseeing every detail, and equipment that is documented and maintained.

Here is the encouraging part: the businesses that stall are usually not bad businesses. They are good businesses that were never properly prepared. And almost all of it is fixable with enough runway.

That is exactly why we encourage owners to start early.”

Start early!

"When should I start planning to sell my business?"

It is the question I hear most from owners, and at the recent Dayton Business Journal manufacturing panel, my honest answer was the same one I always give. Years before you think you need to.

The owners who do best are the ones who start treating their business like it is for sale long before it ever is. That means clean financials, documented processes, low customer and vendor concentration, and a leadership team that does not depend entirely on the owner.

The goal is to make yourself replaceable on paper, even if you have no plans to leave anytime soon.

Starting early is not about rushing the exit. It is about giving yourself options and the time to fix the things that quietly cost you value. In our experience, the gap between a prepared seller and an unprepared one shows up directly in the final number and in how smoothly the deal closes.

The Dayton Business Journal's Table of Experts panel was today, "Competing to Win: Real-World Decisions Facing Dayton Manufacturers."

Kate Vriner of Sunbelt had the honor to share the table with Cassie Barlow (SOCHE), David Pierce (Coolidge Wall), Dr. Rena Sebor (Sinclair Community College), and Ken Thomas (The Dupps Company), with Cory Earl of the DBJ moderating.

Kate's part of the conversation will focus on transition. When an owner should start planning, what quietly erodes value, and how to approach a sale that honors everything they built.

Grateful to the DBJ for convening such a thoughtful group of people who care about the future of manufacturing in our region. More to come after the 11th.
