Can Every Business Be Built To Sell?

Scale Up With Nick Bradley

After several high-profile business exits in the world of business, Nick examines the question of whether or not every business can be built to sell, and more importantly, should it be a part of the business's DNA from the very beginning?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is always a point in your business's life, when your strategy should be fundamentally about the exit. There is also a point in time when you should focus purely on building a great business above all else.
• At the start up phase, make sure you have a great understanding of the market - who your ideal customer is, and providing unique, remarkable solutions to their problems.
• Once the mindset shift has been made towards sale, the decisions you make will be dramatically more effective when it comes to value expansion.
• Companies may acquire others simply because they do not wish to compete against them in an emerging market. Sometimes they are merely hoping to acquire the talent, or gain geographic expansion.

BEST MOMENTS
