You’ve spent years, probably decades, building your business. It’s given you pride, purpose, and a good living. But now you’re starting to think about the future and asking yourself some important questions.
When will I be ready to step back? What’s my business really worth? How do I make sure it runs without me, and keeps paying me back?
When it comes to selling a business, the statistics for selling an SME business successfully aren’t great, where it’s often quoted that 80 to 90% of SME’s listed for sale, don’t sell successfully, if at all!
The reason? Lack of planning by the business owners, mainly because they “don’t know what they don’t know”, because they’ve never sold a business before (or tried to sell one)!
So what can be done to make sure you’re not one of the above statistics? Quite simple – the development of an Exit Strategy that provides a business that’s not dependent on you – the business owner, a stronger management team and a business with growing profitability, cashflow and ultimately, business that’s more saleable and valuable for when the time comes to sell.
