In this episode of the Versa Business Tips podcast, Shaheen Mazloom sits down with John, Founder & CEO of Nokomis Advisory Services, to talk about one of the most important (yet often overlooked) phases of entrepreneurship—planning your business exit.
John shares strategies business owners need to think about years in advance if they want to sell for top dollar, avoid owner-dependency pitfalls, and position their company to attract serious buyers. From delegation and financial systems to customer/supplier concentration risks, John explains what makes a business truly valuable in the eyes of private equity firms, family offices, and strategic buyers.
They also dive into cybersecurity, technology, and why clean, accurate financials can make or break a deal. John even gives a behind-the-scenes look at his book Exit with Style, Grace, and More Money and how owners can prepare today for a smoother, more profitable transition tomorrow.
Whether you’re thinking about selling in 1 year or 10, this episode is packed with practical tips every entrepreneur needs to hear.
