Valuation. Risk.

And the Truth About Seller Regret


What does it actually mean to be “ready” to sell your business?

In this episode of Ethical Exits, Hannah sits down with Judy Park, CMAA, a certified M&A advisor known for her meticulous attention to detail and deep transactional experience across 50+ successful closings and more than $100 million in deal volume.

Founders often value their companies based on sacrifice, identity, and years of effort. Buyers, meanwhile, are underwriting projected cash flows, risk, and uncertainty.

That gap, between emotional value and financial underwriting, is where seller regret is born.
