A Business Owner's Masterclass.
Let me start by sharing some statistics with you, which I find rather shocking.
90% of SMEs are unsellable
50% close down for zero value
Only one in 2,000 is sold for its full market value.
UK Business Mentor of the Year, Christine Nicholson, shared that data with me.
As awful as the numbers are, the good news is that she’s developed a business owner’s toolkit to ensure that you’ve got the best chance of being that 1 in 2000 who does have a successful exit.
Christine is an extraordinary lady. Having left school at 16, she quickly realised that working in a bank was not for her. So, she qualified as an accountant and embarked on her entrepreneurial journey, which involved multiple businesses, several exits, and many lessons learned along the way.
During our conversation, she explained;
Why you need to start planning for your exit much earlier than you think—and the dangers of leaving things late.
The steps to take to increase your business valuation massively—some of which may surprise you. She shared how she helped a business increase its sales value by 12x in less than 2 years!
She explained the process she uses to ensure you’ve got the right people on your team, allowing you to spend time working on your business strategy more effectively.
Towards the end of our conversation, Christine shared the details of some amazing tools and online services available to you free of charge. The links are all in the podcast show notes.
