Is Your Business Ready for What Comes Next? Building Value, Transferability and Options

“What comes next” doesn’t necessarily mean selling the company.

It could mean an acquisition opportunity, an ownership transition, management succession, an unexpected offer—or simply an owner deciding that the business needs to depend less heavily on them.

One of the fundamental questions in valuation is whether a business is truly transferable or whether it is largely dependent on a particular individual and that person’s skills and relationships. A stronger, more transferable business doesn’t just have the potential to be worth more. It gives its owners more options.
