What’s the result of failing to optimise your business for an exit?
A disappointing price tag and a years of work left in tatters.
If you’re a business owner planning your exit in the next few years, going it alone can prove costly.
So you might want to avoid some of the common pitfalls…
🟥 Start by preparing early. It takes time to make your business valuable and sellable. Waiting until you are ready to hand over the reins is too late.
🟥 Focus on value, not vanity. Don’t get distracted by measuring the wrong metrics. What matters is overall value and the levers that maximise your valuation.
🟥 Work with experienced investors and exit specialists. Leverage the knowledge and connections of others, to optimise your growth and end-valuation. Don’t be shy about forming partnerships.
