If someone came knocking on your door and said "I'd like to buy your business. How much do you want for it?" Would you know how much you should ask for? Would you know what to do next?

You are probably so busy "doing business" that you haven't considered the end game. How and when will you sell and exit the business? You may be frustrated and worried that you will be stuck in the business forever. You could be ready to sell but don't know the best way to start the process.

What Other People Say

Since selling my own business in 2006 I have worked with many business owners in a wide range of business types to help them grow their businesses, prepare them for sale and in some cases sell them. Here are a couple of their stories.

“A few years before I wanted to sell my business, I attended John’s “Prepare Your Business Ready For Sale” course and this was extremely beneficial. I discovered that selling a business was a lot more complicated than I expected. After the course John worked with me as my business ready for sale coach to prepare my company for sale over an 18 month period.

When the time came to list I was fully prepared and achieved a very satisfying result. I cannot thank John and his Business Owners mentoring group enough for the support and guidance. My advice to business owners, call John today.”

“Whether you’re just getting started with your business or already thinking about an exit, John’s workshop will give you the right information to consider to ensure the whole process goes smoothly. Well worth it! It covers a range of issues often missed by business owners. As they say “a business worth selling, is a business worth keeping”, so even if you’re NOT interested in selling, I highly recommend attending one of these workshops because it will open your eyes to new opportunities. It will help you get out of the “job” you’ve created for yourself, think like a real entrepreneur and build something that works for you without you being present all the time.”

Why John

"Some years ago, I had a leadership management training business and at the seven-year point, I decided it was time to think about exiting. I merged my business with another business and the owner and I became business partners. We set a goal to "exit with equity in three years".

After the three years we decided to try and sell and came up with a value for the business. We put it on the market and tried to sell the business ourselves. After a six-month emotional roller coaster, which was not very pleasant at all, we failed to sell the business.

I told a good friend of mine, who had bought, built and sold a lot of businesses what had happened and he referred us to his recommended business broker. The broker told us selling a business is a process and you need to be ready and stick to the process. He also added, "You need to get the price right and by the way, you've priced your business too low."

We listed the business with him, added 25% to the price, followed his process and sold the business for the full price. We happily paid the broker's fee! It would have cost us a great deal more if we had sold ourselves not knowing what we were doing.

As a result of this experience, I realised how little most business owners know about valuing their business, how to have it ready for sale and what is involved in the sale process. I decided to use this experience to niche my coaching services.

Shortly after the sale, the broker who sold our business offered me training and a job as a broker with their firm. Over the next twelve years as a business broker, I sold many different types and sizes of business. Experience which I now use with all my clients.
