In the latest episode of the Exit Insights podcast

Darryl Bates-Brownsword is joined by corporate finance specialist Jack Minns to explore how early planning can significantly increase business value and help owners exit on their terms.

Listen in as we discuss:

🔹 Why waiting until you're ready to sell could cost you hundreds of thousands of pounds

🔹 How a simple change in pricing strategy helped one software company more than double its valuation

🔹 Why recurring revenue is so attractive to buyers and how it reduces perceived risk

🔹 The overlooked impact of working capital on the amount of cash you walk away with at completion

🔹 How proactive tax planning can help shareholders retain more of the proceeds from a sale

🔹 Why owner dependence, customer concentration, and supplier reliance can dramatically reduce value

🔹 The crucial difference between running a profitable business and building a sellable business

One of the most powerful insights from this conversation:

The businesses that achieve the best exits don't start preparing six months before a sale. They start two to three years in advance.

Whether you're planning to sell in the near future or simply want to build a stronger, more valuable business, this episode offers practical strategies that can have a significant impact on your eventual exit outcome.
