When you are thinking of selling your business, considering rivals as potential buyers may be hard to stomach, but can be highly rewarding from a selling point of view. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, a fifth of all business sale deals are made between rivals and, when it comes time to sell your business, your competitors will be among the first to knock at your door.

If the deal falls once you’ve disclosed things such as your margins, pricing strategies and supplier and customer information, the results could be catastrophic.
