You have spent a lifetime pouring yourself out for others. Was it worth it? - is the unstated question most of us must face. The range of emotions to answering it is far wider than most books dare address. This one does. There are multiple dimensions to selling a business: Financial is the foremost in most people’s minds with the practical not far behind. No less important, and sometimes more impactful, are the emotional factors that often come into play. Mr. Creedy has masterfully blended all these dimensions to empower the reader to navigate an unfamiliar, high–risk major life step. Combining technical insights with actual case studies the reader will be able to understand and apply the right steps to accomplish the best results. The author’s methods and approaches have stood the test of time for more than 40 years outperforming the profession’s expectations. Most helpful are specific tools ranging from how to calculate a multiple to a checklist for organizing due diligence. Finish Well: An Exit Guide for Funeral Home Owners gives funeral practitioners insights on how to finish their careers on their timeline and be happy with the results. Author and business consultant Alan Creedy explains the difference between getting out and how you get out. “Most Funeral Home Owners spend their career pouring themselves out for others. I believe they deserve to end well,” commented Creedy. “Ending well means more than simply getting the most money. It means finishing on your own terms.” Key highlights of Finish Well: 1. Clear and concise explanations of technical concepts in everyday language. 2. Real-life case studies that enable the reader to apply what they are learning and avoid costly mistakes. 3. Interactive chapters that allow the reader to ask the author specific questions. 4. Sample tools for calculating value and performing due diligence. 5. Access to live tools on the author’s website.
