KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• When it comes to sale, many businesses are hampered by not knowing how to articulate their requirements from the sale itself. 
• 90%+ of entrepreneurs are solving for annual income. Truly understanding the value of a business allows you to shift your mind-set and see the potential value.
• The number one problem in the merger and acquisition marketplace, is financial education. Those who have grown a company have no idea how to best maximise when it comes to sale, or even of the metrics required.
• The five intentional growth principles are:
  • Your drivers - What is important to you?
  • Your financial targets - Annual income, outside net-worth, and net value of your company.
  • Your exit options - Internal transfers, search funds, ESOPs, private equity, and strategic buyers.
  • Grow value by creating a sustainable, predictable cash-flow machine.
  • Hire the right team of advisers.
