Business Sale Consulting

Build a Business Someone Will Want to Buy

Most founders think about selling too late. When they finally do, they find out the business is worth far less than they expected, or that no one will buy it at all.

Buyers aren’t paying for what you’ve built. They’re paying for what the business will do without you. A business that relies on its founder, or whose revenue goes up and down unpredictably, gets marked down or walked away from.

I’ve taken my own business through to a successful exit. As a Director at Investment Group Bath, I also see founder-led businesses through an investor’s eyes every month. I’ll help you:

• See your business the way a buyer will, including the weak spots that cut its value
• Reduce how much the business depends on you, so it holds its value once you step away
• Build recurring, predictable revenue that buyers will pay more for
• Get your numbers, processes and team ready for due diligence
• Plan the timing and route of your exit, whether that’s a trade sale, a management buyout or bringing in investment

Start two to three years before you want to sell, and you’ll set the price instead of accepting it.
