Legal Question in Business Law in Arizona

Selling sole-proprietor construction business

I want to sell my construction business to an employee. He needs to pay for it on a monthly basis. I'm considering staying on as an employee/advisor until the purchase is paid in full. How are business selling prices generally determined? How do I transfer the business and protect myself from further legal responsibilities? If I keep a joint checking account

with the new owner will that be a possible liability for me?
