As an example, they might say "I have a lot of other responsibilities" or "I am retiring". For many sellers, these factors are valid. But, for some, these might simply be reasons to try to hide the reality of changing demographics, increased competitors, recent reduction in profits, or a range of various other reasons. This is why it is really crucial that you not count absolutely on a vendor's word, however instead, use the seller's response together with your overall due diligence. This will repaint a more sensible picture of the business's current scenario.
