Hello A-Listers
Everywhere you look, read, or chat, one hears of the mass exodus. People are running to the Immigration Office faster than the Springboks over the All Blacks try line.
Now this is not the forum to debate the pros and cons, it is what it is.
Here’s the thing though – many of these folk are business owners, so what do you do with your business? Lose interest as you focus on your move and consciously or subconsciously disconnect? Shut it down after all your hard work, blood, sweat, and tears OR engage with an expert, get great advice and sell your business!
There are practical steps to follow that us, as business owners, don’t even know about :
- How to prepare your business for a sale
- The importance of accurate financials
- Ensuring SLA’s (Service Level Agreements) are in place
- Is there a lease – no lease, no sale
- Get a proper evaluation for your business – an accurate one – you might be pleasantly surprised!
- Don’t just close, explore even getting a partner or selling to employees
- How to phase yourself out whilst keeping the business sustainable
- Consider Franchising if it’s a good blueprint
Seriously, when I sit in these meetings, I really wish I knew this so many years ago which is why I’m passionate about sharing this information and passing it on – someone can benefit! Chances are you know someone in this boat right now – enlighten them!
So, whilst you might be dusting off your suitcase, dreaming of your new life in the Bahamas, fantasising about sipping cocktails with mountain or ocean views, joking about not going to miss the potholes, take time to give Nic a call. He is honestly so knowledgeable, and my feeling is that NO-ONE should close or sell a business without speaking to this guy.
I have referred 4 friends to Nic and he has been an amazing resource and guide. Thank me later!
