Where are the Buyers of your Business?

Where are the Buyers of your Business?

Where are the buyers for my profitable business that will pay for this amazing company I built and reward me for all the hard work and sacrifices I put into it.

I always get asked….and it feels like finding a needle in a haystack.

Before I can answer..? a sigh of resignation on their part…

“At the end of the day, they weren’t interested in my business..”

In fact, they were.

And with tough love comes the reply.

“They were interested in the business but not in the business as run by you.”

A business where the owner could not produce credible audited financials and yet was asking for several million.

This happens much more than you think.

I remember a woman selling her café whose financials were 2 years old!?? When I asked her for the most recent 36 months, she talked about how the café put her children through university and that should be good enough for me.

Another business was looking to raise $50 million for a pipeline of business for over $1 billion.

But had no audited financials to speak of when asked.

And revenue projections with 800% growth that made no sense because there were no financials an investor could look at to get the picture and believe the promise.

And here’s the thing.

Producing high quality financial reports with transparency is 100% under your own control.

And yet many owners feel it’s an expense they would rather do without.

They can save $2,000 and end up leaving millions at the table.

And yes.. it happens more than you can imagine.

Which is why we often start any engagement with …. Show me the financials and tell me the story behind them.

If you can do that.. you are already ahead of the game.

If you can’t.. then time to get those in order … the sooner the better as the opportunity of a lifetime can show up suddenly and having no financials is the easiest way to discount you and take it away.

I’ll have more to say on this during the week…


P.S. I work with overworked and frustrated business owners who looked for help but received just empty promises and no results.

That's when they find me. I guide them on exactly how to invest their time and money to transform their business and get the life they want.

Instead of just ideas and tactics, we discover together actionable insights that can be easily implemented to generate more money, make the business more valuable and position you to capture these life-changing opportunities.
