Hi everyone, I’m Teddy Keen, a PhD researcher at Reykjavik University studying external business transfers in small non-family firms (typically 5–50 employees). I’m looking to speak with buyers or sellers who have completed a small business acquisition/sale within the past 24 months, or who are currently in the process of one, or advisors who have helped in a sale. The interview is confidential, takes 20–30 minutes, and focuses on how information and knowledge are shared (or missed) during the handover. Participants will receive a short summary of the findings, which may be useful for future acquisitions or transition planning. If you’d be open to participating, or know someone who might, please feel free to message me here or email me at: redacted Thank you very much for your help.
