EPISODE 397: Have you ever thought about selling your construction business?

Many construction business owners believe that all businesses are meant to be sellable. But here’s the truth: selling a business isn’t just about finding a buyer—it’s about building something that can thrive without you.

In this episode of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast, I’m joined by John Warrillow, the expert in business value creation. Today, he shares why most construction businesses aren’t sellable and how you can transform yours into a valuable asset.

Listen in as he also breaks down…

  • The Trojan Horse effect–a secret that can increase your business’s value

  • What is TVR, and why is it important

  • When is the best time to sell your construction business

  • Disastrous mistakes to avoid when selling a business

  • Clauses to watch out for during a transaction

  • The #1 thing sellers do to sabotage themselves

…and more!

If you want to know how to build a business that thrives without you and is irresistible to potential buyers, make sure to watch or listen to this episode.

Let’s dive in!
