Just needed to share really. I've spent the last 5 years building up my small business, working from home. And now I've sold it. I have about another month and a bit working in tandem with the buyer and then I am unemployed, free to find a whole new career. At this point I have no idea what I will do next but I know I'm ready for a change.
For anyone else who is thinking of selling a business, I can honestly say that it has been a lot easier and less complicated than I thought possible.
