So what else could I consider?
In my opinion you should look for a company that can teach you over 51 different ways to market any business. A business that has an extensive back office with over 400 plus hours of training that will show you virtually how to sell your business as a franchise. In my opinion that would be how you could sell your business and return the most out of it!
Now you ask; how can I find something like that?
Great question, but in order to find buying business something like that you would have to search the internet until you find a business opportunity that potentially offers something like this! Basically you are looking for a company that has a huge back office with a lot of training, and after they teach you how to sell a business as a franchise, you could possibly join there company and create a substantial amount income that will pay you forever depending on what you put into it. This way you will not have to deal with the headache of owning your own business ever again!
