Most of us spend our careers building towards a sale and partial or full exit from our businesses. The reality is that many wait too long to seriously plan for it.
This session will give you clear, practical insight into the considerations and actions you can take NOW, to positively impact the valuation and appeal of your business.
I will share my lived experience of the exit journey, covering not just the mechanics of process, deal structures and exit options, but the emotional reality of selling a business. We'll explore how the journey can affect you personally as an owner, leader and individual - often in ways that you wouldn't expect.
This is an authentic, honest talk where I will address some of the major successes, but also things I would change or do differently a second time around.
We will explore reasons why many deals fail to complete, providing you with a tool box and battle plan to navigate the many pitfalls, pressures and risks. You will also receive access to our sale readiness tool, giving you focus areas tailored to your business.
You will leave the session ensuring you don't only know 'where' to start but are best placed to become one of the small number of successfully exited founders.
