It’s impossible to protect the things that make your company valuable if you don’t know what they are. Every organization is unique, but here are a few assets to consider:
You may already have some understanding of your company's most valuable assets. However, collaborating with an unbiased professional may offer a fresh perspective, enabling you to make more informed decisions about resource allocation and protection strategies.
Once you've identified your company's most valuable assets, taking steps to protect them is essential. One effective strategy is to create legal documents that outline the appropriate use of trade secrets or intellectual property.
Many successful businesses approach this by developing a company handbook that outlines best practices and policies employees must follow. Regular internal training programs can also be implemented to highlight the significance of intellectual property and trade secrets.

We have owned a business that provides cloud-based IT solutions for nearly 20 years. When it came time to explore selling our company, we knew exactly who to reach out to since we had been discussing the prospect of a sale with Randy Krivo for more than 8 years. Randy has always been there as a sounding board and has been willing to offer us advice throughout our relationship. Randy never made us feel like a burden (for seeking his guidance on how to position and value our business) or any pressure to sell sooner than we were ready. So, when it came time for the actual sale process to begin, it was of great comfort to know exactly who we wanted to work with. The process is harder and more complicated than we could ever have understood. I cannot express how much we appreciated having Randy and True North/Sunbelt on our side throughout this process. Our already high expectations were not only met but exceeded. Randy’s knowledge and experience were so incredibly valuable throughout this process that I absolutely recommend Randy and his organization to anyone who is contemplating the sale of their business. Thank goodness we had him to guide us through our business transaction.
