Building A Business To Sell: 6 Ways To Get It Right From The Start

Deciding to build a business to an exit, will shape your decisions from day one.

But it's easy to get distracted along the way.

And years of your life can pass, where you continue exchanging your time for income, Rather than achieve a payday event, allowing you to achieve much greater financial freedom.

Like I say, it’s all too easy to get distracted and forget there are ways to accelerate your journey.

If you want to avoid the trappings of a lifestyle business and instead build a valuable business to exit, there are several things to remember…

🟦 Focus on profitability. Buyers want to see consistent profits and healthy margins.

🟦 Remove yourself. Recruit competent people who can grow the business without you having to be involved.

🟦 Diversify your customer base. Don't rely too heavily on a few major accounts.

🟦 Invest in systems. Streamlined processes enable scalability and make a business more valuable to buyers.

🟦 Grow Recurring Revenue. Recurring or reoccuring revenue delivers predictable cashflow for buyers.

🟦 Keep Raising the Bar. Complacency kills your competitive edge.

The 24-48 months before you exit, will set the trajectory for everything that follows - including a business that’s primed for a premium valuation…
