A good exit needs more than a valuation. It needs a business that can actually run without you.
The question is not just what the company is worth. The question is whether it survives when you are no longer at the desk.
You cannot fix hesitation with financial data. If you are delaying your exit it is not because you do not understand the math. It comes down to the messy reality of letting go.
Identity Void. The fear of who you are when you no longer run the company.
Stewardship Guilt. The heavy burden of making sure your loyal team and family are safe.
Process Paralysis. The business relies entirely on you to function. Stepping away feels impossible.
You do not need more numbers. You need an unblocker.
Without a formal plan most UK businesses fail to transition. Your wealth and your legacy are at risk.
Most UK businesses have fewer than ten staff. The founder is the central hub. Your identity and the business are tied together.
One million UK business owners will retire by 2030. The question is not if you will exit but how.
