Preparing Your Business for Sale: Scaling to Exit

The latest business mood and sentiment surveys show significant numbers of businesses are in survival mode, with a recent survey for Q2 showing 27% are considering exiting the business at some point in the near future.

If that’s something you’ve been contemplating you may already have a figure in mind, but reality can bring wannabe sellers down to earth – with a bump! To maximise your sale price, you need your business ‘sale ready’, pretty much like cleaning a car before it goes back to the lease company, and making sure the alloy wheels are scuff free and shiny.

To absolutely maximise your company valuation, you need it firing on all cylinders and running like a dream. Planning well in advance is key, and that journey starts with this useful session which will show you how and where to start.

So if you’re looking to scale (and polish) your business and/or review your exit choices, including the most tax efficient option, this half-day seminar is packed with useful information and insights to help you leverage the most from the eventual sale price by looking at:-

• Financials and growing profitability

• Sales and marketing

• Leadership/management including recruitment, retention and managing performance

• Scaling for growth strategies

• Exit strategies
