Empowering Healthy Business Podcast Episode 1: Preparing Your Business for a Successful Sale with Glenn Grant
In this episode of the Empowering Healthy Business Podcast, host Calvin Wilder sits down with Glenn Grant of Selfassembled Ventures to explore how small business owners can prepare business for sale successfully. Many owners don’t start planning early enough, which leads to stress and missed opportunities. Glenn shares what matters when getting ready to sell, beyond just revenue and profit.
Why You Should Prepare Business for Sale Early
Preparing your business for sale isn’t something to leave until the last minute. Glenn explains that buyers want a business that runs smoothly without the owner. That means clear processes, a solid team, and reliable revenue streams. If your company relies too much on you, it may scare buyers away—or lower your valuation.
Calvin and Glenn highlight simple ways to begin: document systems, delegate responsibility, and organize your financials. These small changes can significantly increase your business’s value and attractiveness.
Practical Ways to Prepare Business for Sale
If you’re wondering how to prepare business for sale, start with a self-assessment. Ask yourself:
- Are operations well-documented?
- Do customers rely on your brand, or just you?
- Are your financials clean and consistent?
Glenn recommends creating a plan at least one to two years before selling. That gives you time to strengthen weak areas and show steady performance. It also helps you avoid fire-sale pricing caused by urgency or burnout.
