Scaling a business is one thing, but building one that’s sellable - and for millions - is a whole different game. In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Nick Bradley, who knows exactly what it takes to turn a business into a valuable asset that buyers want. We’re getting into the real questions: is your business even sellable? What makes it attractive to buyers? And how do you build it so it runs without you at the centre of it all? If you’ve ever thought about what’s next for your business - whether that’s scaling, selling, or creating more freedom - this conversation will get you thinking.Highlights:(3:11) Understanding Succession Plans and Sellable Businesses(8:02) Lifestyle vs. Growth Businesses(11:04) Types of Businesses and Marketability(13:28) Preparing for a Business Exit(17:37) Challenges and Opportunities in Scaling Businesses(28:34) Financial Management and Due Diligence(34:36) Embarrassing Business Stories(40:17) Final Thoughts and TakeawaysConnect with Nick HEREConnect with Dawn:Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcastFacebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruerLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/Web www.dawnmcgruer.comThis podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentionalhttps://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy
