An unsolicited approach can be tempting - but often it’s not the best outcome. In life, shortcuts rarely work. When someone “off the street” reaches out to buy your business, the offer they make is almost never their highest — and they usually drag their feet on closing. That’s not a coincidence. It’s how opportunistic buyers operate. At GGP, we’ve spent close to three decades helping entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses turn those one-off approaches into real leverage.
