🎙️ Should you name your business when you sell — or keep it under wraps? Damien Fahey and Sam Cherry unpack confidentiality, legacy, and when an open sale makes sense.Key takeaways:🔹 Most Tabak sales are confidential — handled via anonymous listings, NDAs, and carefully screened buyers.🔹 Why stay confidential?Protect staff morale, reduce competitor pressure, and maintain stability during the sale. Broker “matchmaking” with prequalified buyers often moves faster and closer to asking price.🔹 Why go public?If staff are aware of the plans, and the business has a strong brand then going public may increase the buyer pool.🎧 Whether you’re preparing to sell, advising clients, or exploring a purchase, this episode helps you choose the right path.
