Why Most Businesses Never Sell with Stuart Mason
Here's another episode from my Live & Linking series and this week I'm joined by Stuart Mason.
Stuart helps business owners prepare their companies for sale, but this isn't just a conversation for people looking to exit tomorrow.
It's really about building a better business from day one. Stuart shares the story of building a hugely successful multi-million-pound company before losing it all, and explains how those experiences completely changed the way he now helps business owners.
If you've ever assumed that making a good profit automatically means your business is valuable, this episode might surprise you.
We dig into why so many businesses listed for sale never actually sell, what buyers are really looking for during due diligence, and why owner dependency is often the biggest obstacle.
Stuart explains the importance of systems, recurring revenue, customer diversification and creating a business that can thrive without you at the centre of everything.
We also talk about the difference between value and valuation, why starting with the end in mind makes every business stronger, and how even a one-person business can become attractive to buyers when it's built the right way.
As always, we finish with a LinkedIn content review where I give Stuart some ideas to improve one of his latest posts, turning it into something that's easier to consume and more engaging on the platform. Whether you want to build a business you can eventually sell or simply create one that gives you more freedom, there's plenty of practical advice in this conversation that you can start using straight away.
What you'll learn:
Why most businesses listed for sale never actually sell
The biggest mistake business owners make before trying to exit
How recurring revenue increases business value
Why systems matter more than people
The difference between value and valuation
How to reduce owner dependency
Tips to make your LinkedIn content more engaging
