“The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.”
– Sun Tzu
Selling a business is not like selling a house. It’s not as simple as freshening it up and putting a “for sale” sign on the door. Unfortunately, many businesses—roughly 80%—don’t sell and are instead shut down, leaving their owners without the nest egg they deserve after years of hard work. For many entrepreneurs, selling a business is the final stage in their journey, yet so few are properly prepared to reach it.
At Copious Insights, we help business owners navigate this critical stage with a proven process that prepares their business to be attractive to buyers while significantly increasing its value. This service is an excellent complement to the Freedom Through Value (FTV) program, providing the hands-on guidance needed to implement strategies that ensure your business is ready for sale when the time comes.
How We Help
Our approach goes beyond improving cash flow and profitability—though we excel at both. The true value of your business is determined not only by its financial performance but also by the perceived risk of sustaining that performance in the future. We focus on reducing this risk, which exponentially increases your business’s value.
- Boost Profitability and Cash Flow: Strengthen the financial foundation of your business to make it more appealing to buyers.
- Lower Risk for Buyers: Address operational dependencies, streamline processes, and reduce reliance on the owner to ensure continuity of performance.
- Prepare for Due Diligence: Anticipate buyer concerns and proactively resolve potential red flags.
- Enhance Saleability: Build systems, improve reporting, and implement strategies to make your business both easier to run and easier to sell.
A Complement to the FTV Program
While the Freedom Through Value (FTV) program empowers you to implement value-building strategies independently, this service provides personalized support to guide you step by step. Together, they ensure your business is not only valuable but also ready for a smooth transition when you’re ready to sell.
Selling a business shouldn’t be a gamble. With the right preparation, you can position your business to attract the right buyers, command a higher price, and secure the legacy you’ve worked so hard to build.
