What kills wireless retail business sales?
12-24 months before listing. Financial cleanup, operational standardization, and value-driver improvements all take time. Last-minute sale prep often results in 20-40% lower sale prices.
Common deal killers: messy financials, owner dependency (business can't run without you), customer concentration (too dependent on one carrier), lease issues, undisclosed legal problems, and unrealistic asking prices.
