Key questions to ask and answer before you sell your business

Key questions to ask and answer before you sell your business

According to business broker Mike Kelner, the M&A market for convenience services is red hot. Valuations are higher than ever. It’s a good time to be a convenience services operator and with these market conditions, many operators are pondering their options for 2026.

Mike Kelner, owner of VBB Advisors, said he has learned over the years that selling a business is as much a psychological and life-planning decision as it is a financial and transactional one. In this episode of Automatic Merchandiser’s Vending & OCS Nation, host Bob Tullio sat down with Kelner and asked him to talk about the key questions an operator needs to ask before finding the exit door.

The podcast discusses part 5 of Kelner’s M&A Best Practices series, written for Vending Market Watch.

The first four parts of his series, available at vendingmarketrwatch.com, were focused

  • Preparation
  • Valuation
  • Marketing
  • Negotiation
  • Part 5 looks at the psychological side of a deal - Key questions to ask before you sell your business.

For any operator who is considering a sale in 2026 or beyond, it’s a thought provoking listen, as Kelner shares those questions and the answers he receives from operators.
