The Ultimate Poker Hand Building the value of your company gives you a major advantage in the game of life. You can choose to sell if you get an outlandish offer or sleep well at night knowing you could sell. The hallmark of a valuable company is one that can run without you, which means if you can create a business that’s built to sell, you also have the option to hold on to it without the stress of running your company on a day-to-day basis.... A valuable business is also a sought-after asset, making it more likely that you will get an unsolicited offer for your business. This gives you negotiating leverage when you decide to sell.

Transferability is the key!!! Value can only be harvested if your intellectual capital is transferable. Ask yourself:... Is your business transferable? Is your talent transferable? Are your customer relationships transferable? Are your processes and technology transferable? Can someone else learn them? Is your culture so deep that integrating your team into your buyer's business would raise the bar, providing them the opportunity to perform like you do? #Sunbeltbusinessadvisors #ValueBuilders #Valueaccelerator
