You’ve built something good over many years. But the customers call you, the know-how is in your head, and there’s no obvious successor. That makes it hard to step back, and hard to sell. That’s the problem I help with.
Most owner-led businesses look like this. It isn’t a failing; it’s just what happens when one person has carried the load for a long time.
Key accounts and big quotes still go through you personally.
Pricing, processes and supplier know-how aren’t written down anywhere.
Good people, but nobody yet ready to run the place without you.
The accounts work for tax, but don’t show a buyer what the business really earns.
I’m not a consultant who writes a report and leaves. I work with you and your team over the long run, a few hours a week, on the things that make a business run without its owner:
Tell me about the business, what you want next, and your timing. Confidential, and no obligation.
A free, confidential valuation from your figures, so we both start from the same number.
A weekly catch-up and regular site visits, working through the plan with you and your team.
A business that runs without you is easier to hand over, and worth more when you sell.
Send me an email about your business and what you’d like next, and I’ll reply personally. No obligation, and nothing is shared without your OK.
