Manage episode 435854389 series 3594925
Luis Hernandez interviews Laurie Barkman, known as the 'Business Transition Sherpa.' Laurie is the founder and CEO of a $100 million revenue company that sold to a Fortune 50 company. She shares insights from her book 'Succession Stories: The Business Transition Handbook' and her podcast 'Succession Stories,' discussing how to set up businesses for successful exits and successions. The discussion covers the importance of building value with the end in mind, understanding who should own the business after you, and differentiating between exits and succession. Laurie emphasizes the need for business owners to be proactive in preparing for transitions and the significance of obtaining regular business valuations to understand and improve enterprise value. The episode also explores case studies, including the implications of growth opportunities, financial metrics, and industry factors on business valuation. Laurie provides actionable advice on creating transferable business processes and encourages entrepreneurs to consider acquisition as a viable path to entrepreneurship.
