[Highs]

As a good business owner, there are tops secrets you shouldn't share with the public:
1. Pricing Policy: Sharing your pricing policy don't give you an advantage over your competitors. Your products may be subject to price cuts or similar measures, which could cost you market position and profitability.

2. Business Secrets: These include proprietary techniques, unique techniques, or any specialized knowledge that gives your business a competitive edge. Highlighting these can erode your competitive advantage and invite imitation.

3. Your business weaknesses: Don't reveal internal issues, such as financial struggles, labor conflicts, or operational inefficiencies. Competitors can exploit these weaknesses, potentially undermining client confidence in the stability and reliability of your business.

You are right, however there should be better ways of going about this. If you want to sell off your company already, you have to let the buyer know why, this is necessary.

Which ever way, just get it away from the ears of the general public else you will be exploited.

Whether you share or not, your competitors as well as consumers will always find your pricing policy, business secrets or business weakness.
