Building a business that is transferable or sellable really begins when an owner launches a business with their eventual goals for exit --- do they indeed want to get value out of the business at some point in the future with a sale…or do they have vision for eventually transferring the business to children or key employees.
If they simply want a lifestyle business while building their desired financial wealth outside of the business…then building for an eventual sale or transfer isn’t necessary…
However, we find that most owners want to…and often need to…get some value out of the business eventually…and frequently consider the business to be central to their retirement plan…
Also…an owner who builds a transferable business has many more options for their eventual exit than they would with a lifestyle business…
So, we can work with owners for years in identifying what aspects of their business….if focused on and strengthened…will increase the value and sellability of the business…
We want to help clients get the business to a place where it’s ready to be sold or transferred for the value they need or want…
And in doing that they find it helpful to have someone outside of the business…like us…come in and look under the hood and identify blind spots that the owner might have pertaining to growth and value acceleration…
And that’s what we want to discuss in this episode…. Common Blind Spots in Building Business Value
