Reason for Sale
This business is not for sale because something went wrong. The owner planned this exit — built the systems, documented the processes, cleared the deck, and set a date. That date is August 2026. Strategic exit. Clean books. No hidden story. The vendor is motivated, not desperate, and is committed to supporting a clean handover to the right buyer.
