Be Ready to Sell Your Business When The Time is Right_First Step: Preparing your Operations

Speaker: Myrna Marofsky from redbookllc.com and Terri Krivosha: Masion Law

My takeaway from this breakout session were the factors business owners should consider to prepare an exit strategy for their business.

The four factors to consider when preparing to sell your business are: Strategic, Financial, Personal & Emotional Security, and Operations.

I am going to jump ahead to Operations because I specialize in that area when it comes to bridging the gap between synchronizing people, process, and internet technology.

In this area, they brought up the following points when it comes to organizing your business structure:

1. Invest your time in developing people and letting go of those who cannot keep up (talent).

2. Hiring with succession planning in mind

3. Focused on Business Growth

4. Knowing your options for employee retention

5. Ensuring Operations Running Smoothly

The points presented above reinforces the importance of taking the time to set your business structure so its agile enough to support future growth.

I am sure you are wondering ok I get what’s being said above but how do I get my business….there?

Below are some resources that may help you to understand what elements are needed to structure your business operations and move a step closer to prepare your exit strategy:
