How I Sold My Business – Matt Wakelin

Our ongoing series of discussions with small business owners about their business-selling experience continues as we talk with the now-former owner of Treasure Chest Foods, Mr. Matt Wakelin. As the long-time owner of a company specializing in high-quality meats and seafood delivered “to your door,” Matt knew that his business was valuable, but the first couple business brokers he worked with may not have seen it that way. On this edition of “Deal Talk,” Jeff Allen speaks with Matt about his experience working with brokers who seemed to be more motivated by their commission check, until he connected with a company that put his business first and got him the results he had wanted from the start.
