BUSINESS SALES READINESS

Achieve Your Goals

​

After many successful years in business, at some stage you will no doubt wish to retire or have a change and enjoy the fruits of your labour. But selling a business is not straight forward and getting it ready for sale is just as important as the final decision to put it on the market.

​You need to consider many aspects of how to make it easy for a buyer to review and your business, before you take it market. Considerations like creating barriers to entry (eliminating competition), golden handcuff for key employers, positive lease arrangements, contracted key suppliers and customers are just a few aspects that need your consideration well before putting the business up for sale. All these things create value and likely to affect the price you get for your business. 

​For a comprehensive review of the areas you need to consider for your business, please do not hesitate to contact me.

BUSINESS PLANS AND IMPLEMENTATION

Grow Your Business

Fulfilling the mission of an organisation requires good planning and management skills. Every business no matter how big or small should have specific goals and a Strategic Plan to achieve it. Strategic Plans should be supported by Tactical Plans and good processes to ensure the business operate efficiently and effectively. 

​Successful businesses are based on 5 key pillars:

  • Agreed Strategic business plan with a tactical and operation plan to achieve it

  • Great Human Resource,

  • Great Business Culture,

  • Great Business Processes,

  • Technology to support the business and not the other way around.

SUCCESSION PLANNING

One of the biggest barriers to growth and profitability is the personal goodwill carried by the owners. It's imperative that Succession Planning is considered.
I can help to get you out of the business!!! by creating  a human resource strategy to hire people who are better than you in many areas of your business leaving you to focus on what your good and leaving you with time to work on your business rather than working in  your business.
