Arlington’s local business environment is constantly changing, with openings, closings, and ownership changes a regular occurrence.
A small business owner may decide to sell due to shifting economic conditions, retirement, a desire to pursue other endeavors or diversify one’s assets, or to try to turn around the fortunes of a floundering business.
