When it comes to selling a business, most founders assume the highest offer is the best one. That assumption can be a multi-million dollar mistake. I sat down with Brandon Wolfe, Co-founder and partner at Jordan Partners, who sees this happen all the time. He shares a powerful cautionary tale that reveals Why The Highest Offer For Your Business is Often a Trap, and why choosing the right partner is more important than the biggest check.

This is an essential guide for any founder considering an exit or taking on growth capital. Check out the company: https://jordan-partners.com
