Turning your business into an asset that funds your retirement

"The goal is to basically see the business through the eyes of an investor," Overholt said. "How could someone buy my business and then get a steady paycheck as the business continues to perform and allows a new owner to take a salary but not have to work 80 hours a week?"

Many small-business owners are in the same boat. Figuring out how to pass along a family business you have spent your life building is not easy. How do you put a value on it? How do you extract that value? Do you sell it to your children? An employee? Employees? Or do you hold on to it, pull back and collect a dividend while you sail into retirement?
