What's It Worth To You?

You work incredibly hard in your business. You put in long hours. You stress about your customer service and your profitability. You strive to create a quality team to support you. You sell, do the bookkeeping, sweep the floor, fix the printer, make the product and deliver the service. You wouldn't have it any other way.

You've invested your money and your time to create your business, and you yearn for it to give you the lifestyle you'd like to live, if not right now, in the foreseeable future. You also dream of being able to sell the business, and harvest the value that you have invested your life in creating.

But the question is, will you be able to do that? Will the value of your business support the rest of your life? Finding the answer to that question really isn't as hard as it may seem. But if the answer is no, what can you do about it? If you've waited until you are ready to retire, you may not be able to do much about it at all, except continue owning and working in the business awhile longer. That is why all the experts recommend starting early to work on the value of your business. In fact, there is nothing wrong with starting the day you launch your business to create value for the next owner of your enterprise.

One easy place to start is to take a short, 13 minute survey called the Sellability Score. It is free, confidential, and understandable. You can take the survey HERE, and we will contact you to help you learn where you might start in building value in your business.

Why is the Sellability Score so important?  Surveys have shown that companies who score 80 or higher on their Sellability Score typically receive offers for their business that are 71% more valuable than the average company. Thus finding out where you stand is the perfect place to start working to raise your score. Want to learn more about this Sellability Score concept? Check out THIS SHORT VIDEO from the author of the book that started it all, "Built to Sell", by John Warrillow.
