time for change - sell your businessTime to sell your business or step back from it?

You are ready for a change. You have a flourishing business but it takes a lot of your time. Maybe you built that business from scratch.  Maybe you bought it and built it up from small beginnings.  Now it’s time for you to sell your business or step back from it and move on.  Could be that you want to:

  • Retire
  • Sell the business to invest in another one
  • Keep the business but make it operate without you, maybe in the hands of:
    • A young relative or
    • A paid manager
  • Expand the business to new areas, where you’ll really need to focus your attention

sell your business - writers block? we can helpWrite it all down!

You are the key person in the business.  All of the knowledge of that business is in your head or maybe some rough notes.  How will the business survive without you?

The answer is for you to write down everything you know in and organised way!

But maybe you have never liked writing lots of details. You are a mover! There is so much in your head about the business!  You tried once and ended up with a jumble of documents that are sitting in a folder somewhere.

How can you be free to take your next steps?

sell your business and be the man looking over the lakeWon’t that be expensive?

We can’t deny that it is an investment, but there are ways of reducing costs and getting better results at the same time. We could design the manual and then coach you or your team to write it.  This way you and your team may get better ownership of the results and the cost lower. If that seems difficult, don’t worry.  We can also do the writing for you.
