Why Selling Your Business Is Harder Than They're Telling You Artwork

Business Ready For Sale

If you are a business owner this PodCast is for you! It's all about turning businesses into saleable assets. Because a business that's "ready for sale" is well worth keeping! On these podcasts there are interviews with successful business owners, entrepreneurs, topic experts, business valuers and brokers and thought leaders on all aspects of growing businesses and turning them in to valuable, saleable assets. My background is as a business owner, business broker and business owner mentor and I put all that experience together here to benefit other business owners. I believe you can build a business as if you are going to keep it for ever, but could sell it tomorrow. Give yourself OPTIONS because one day you WILL exit your business.

Seen the ads? "Sell your business fast. No broker fees. Just fill in this form."

Sounds tempting. But here's the truth — selling a small business is nowhere near as easy, quick or cheap as those online platforms would have you believe.

In this episode, John Denton is back after a little time away — and a successful vacation test of his own business — to tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in the small business world.

John breaks down why small business sales are genuinely hard, why online selling platforms are dangerous, why location changes everything, and why preparation — real, honest preparation — is the only thing that actually works.

If you're thinking about selling your business in the next one, three or five years, this episode is essential listening.

A business that's ready for sale is well worth keeping.
