As an example, they might claim "I have a lot of various commitments" or "I am retiring". For many sellers, these reasons stand. But, for some, these may just be excuses to attempt to conceal the reality of changing demographics, increased competitors, recent reduction in incomes, or a range of various other reasons. This is why it is really crucial that you not count totally on a vendor's word, but rather, use the seller's response in conjunction with your overall due diligence. This will repaint an extra realistic picture of the business's existing situation.
