Exit Hacks: Seven Ways to Maximise Your Company’s Sale Value

Building a successful company is no small feat, but have you considered how to maximise its value when the time comes to selling or raising investment?

Many entrepreneurs think about selling their company as a separate activity from running and building their business, and don’t start preparing for sale until they are in their exit year. With a typical sales cycle of just 6-9 months for an information, events or media business, it’s a process which can consume the founder and management team.

In this guide, Collingwood distils seven key steps to elevate your company's worth. It begins with starting early—preparation is key. Succession planning and Collingwood's unique model of the 'Three-Year Value Leap' play pivotal roles, setting the stage for growth and profitability.

Governance, meticulous sale preparation, and embracing a competitive process are crucial elements in presenting your company in the best light to potential buyers. And remember, don't rush—selling your business is just the beginning.

No matter where you are on your journey to sale, there is a lot you can do to get yourself in the position to achieve a successful exit.
