If you're a well-run, profitable creative business and you’ve got a unique proposition in the market then honestly, whether you're looking to set out to sell or not then you're likely to get approached and my one main takeaway would be to be prepared for that approach. So, if a sale is something that you envision as a possible future plan for your company, then run it properly from the outset so you're not trying to tidy things up later after you've had an approach and been taken by surprise.
