For many business owners, their company is more than just a livelihood—it’s a dream, a legacy, and a labor of love. Every late night, every tough decision, and every victory builds something greater than just a business; it builds a life. But there comes a moment when every entrepreneur asks: What’s next?

At Murphy Business Sales… We get it!  We don’t just sell businesses—we help business owners transition into the next chapter of their journey. Whether that means retiring, exploring a new passion, or even stepping into the role of a business broker to help others achieve their dreams, we understand that selling a business is more than a transaction—it’s a transformation.

Knowing When It’s Time to Sell

The decision to sell a business isn’t always an easy one. It comes with a mix of emotions—pride, excitement, uncertainty, and even nostalgia. But how do you know when it’s the right time?

You’ve accomplished what you set out to do – Maybe you’ve built a thriving business and are ready for a new adventure.

You’re feeling the pull toward something new – Whether it’s retirement, a fresh career path, or simply more time with family, your heart is leading you elsewhere.

Your business is in a strong position – Selling when your company is thriving allows you to maximize value and ensure a smooth transition for the next owner.

You want to leave a legacy – You’ve created something meaningful, and now it’s time to pass it on to someone who will continue the journey.

These moments are not the end of your story—they are the start of something new.

A New Adventure: Becoming a Business Broker

One of the most rewarding paths many business owners take after selling is helping others do the same. Business brokerage is a natural transition for those who have spent years navigating the challenges and triumphs of ownership. Why?

You’ve been in their shoes – You understand the emotions, the negotiations, and the dreams tied to selling a business.

It’s fulfilling and flexible – You can use your experience to help others while setting your own schedule.

It keeps you connected to business – If you love entrepreneurship but don’t want the daily grind, brokerage lets you stay involved without the operational headaches.
