Business Ready For Sale

Business Ready For Sale

If you are a business owner this PodCast is for you! It's all about turning businesses into saleable assets. Because a business that's "ready for sale" is well worth keeping! On these podcasts there are interviews with successful business owners, entrepreneurs, topic experts, business valuers and brokers and thought leaders on all aspects of growing businesses and turning them in to valuable, saleable assets. My background is as a business owner, business broker and business owner mentor and I put all that experience together here to benefit other business owners. I believe you can build a business as if you are going to keep it for ever, but could sell it tomorrow. Give yourself OPTIONS because one day you WILL exit your business.

    A chat with Nicola Depiazzi about how systems can help you build a business that’s not just successful, but truly saleable. We talk about one of the biggest mindset shifts a business owner needs to make: "What if the goal isn’t to work harder… but to make yourself redundant?"

    Now that might sound counterintuitive, especially if you’re used to being the engine in your business. But if you want to build somethi...

    Partnerships are like aircraft. The only ones you hear about are the ones that crash. I keep telling business owners this because when I say to them that getting into a partnership or combining their business with someone else may be a way to grow their business or exit their business, they tell me “I'm not getting into a partnership, they don't work.”

    Partnerships can work if you go about things th...

    I love it when I get interviewed for someone else's podcast because then I know I am talking about things that interest someone else. Whilst a lot of questions I get asked when speaking with business owners are the same questions, it's also the case that every business is different and every owner has their own personal circumstances and their own questions. Hence, being interviewed brings things out that ma...

    A podcast from my webinar with Juan Perez, IP lawyer with Quest Legal in Perth, Western Australia.

    For most small businesses with profits under $500,000 dollars, the industry standard for values is to use an adjusted maintainable net profit for a single owner-operator. However, sometimes there is "hidden value" in a business in the form of intellectual property (IP).
