What Most Owners Never Know Until It’s Too Late: 5 Decisions That Turn Your Business Into an Asset Buyers Fight For

 Most owners assume they will figure out the sale when the time comes. The ones who wait lose money, leverage, and options. This session shows owners how to get a business ready to sell long before they plan to walk away, and why the right preparation looks completely different depending on how the business runs.

Jules walks through three kinds of businesses and what each one needs to sell well. First, the owner operator business, where the owner is the business and much of the value walks out the door with them. Second, the business with a management team and a CEO, where the real task is proving the company runs without its founder. Third, the investor owned business, where the owner already sits back and the question becomes how to package performance for the next buyer. Each type carries a different risk, attracts a different buyer, and calls for a different set of moves that raise the price.

Jules also grounds the room in real market data, including what businesses actually sell for right now, how small business sales have climbed over the last five years, and the numbers every owner should know before they ever list. The session closes with live Q&A, so attendees can ask about their own company and get a clear read on what a sale could look like and what it would take to get there.
