In this episode of the Faith & Entrepreneurship Podcast, we’re diving into how to maximize your business’s value and position it for a successful sale. I’ll share my own experience of selling my first business and walk you through how to organize your books, craft a compelling story for potential buyers, and identify the three types of buyers you’ll encounter—plus what each one is really looking for. We’ll also break down key value-building strategies, including the Rule of 40, the critical metric buyers use to assess customer acquisition costs, and how to improve your business’s financial health before a sale. Whether you’re planning to sell soon or just want to be ready for the future, this episode is packed with insights to help you navigate the process with confidence!
