no one ever sells a profitable business. people only sell business's which are losing money or just breaking even. if a business is making money, and the owner is sick of working, they usually install a manager to run things, and the owner sits at home and collects the profits.
Geez, you couldn't be further from reality there. I've sold several profitable businesses over the years for different reasons. it's not always about how profitable it is, sometimes you have different priorities. I've also used the "put a manager in" model too, which is pretty much the best way to ruin a business unless you're very, very lucky!!
