As you would expect, most of our valuation discussions with clients are triggered by a desire to sell their business. For those who have more foresight though, the discussion comes from a place of wanting to have the option to sell.

How do you build that option into your life?

Simply, by understanding the drivers of value and the things that could get in the way of a sale. Not only does this give you the optionality around what to do, but it makes your business more desirable and less stressful to run.

It is incredibly problematic for small business owners that most businesses don’t sell. But why is that the case? In a recent webinar with Synergy CFO Solutions, our CEO Graham Stephen ran through some of the reasons. They range from economic issues like a valuation that cannot be justified, through to the business being too dependent on the owner and not adequately prepared for sale.

With many insights shared in this session, it’s a great investment of your time to watch the webinar recording. You’ll find it here.

Get ready for exit readiness

Webinar recordings are great and all, but the best way to engage is by attending the live event and getting a chance to ask your questions.

This Wednesday at 14:00 BST | 15:00 SAST, Graham Stephen and our UK partner Douglas Pudney will present on how exit professionals assess exit readiness and improve their client offerings. You’ll gain insights into how to build a business ready for sale and learn strategies that advisors can use to prepare their clients for a successful exit.

For professionals in this space, this is a great opportunity to enhance your offering to clients. For business owners, you get to peek behind the curtains into the exit planning process and how the market does it.

Either way, it’s a great use of your valuable time. You can register here to attend.

We are waiting for you here.

Happy building!
