You have at least two options: Sell the business to someone who wants it, or hire someone to replace you as president/manager/CEO/whatever.

More seriously, have you hired a president/CEO? I never have, and I've only been around for a couple being hired.. Can't say that either went particularly well. Is there some reason to expect it's an easier problem than "find a cofounder"?

You wanna buy a sweet business?

Only if by "sweet business" you're implying that I can eat it, then yes.

I'll start the bidding at 5k as long as your balance sheet is positive.

From your comments it sounds like the business involves manufacturing of some kind and I did go to school for that. Your email isn't in your profile and I would be interested in talking at least. Send me an email.
