Built to Sell covers these elements and provides actionable wisdom for anyone who wants to build a business to sell. The book itself is not about selling your business per se but establishing a structure to help you grow your business into a profitable, valuable company while allowing you an exit strategy. Here are a few important takeaways.
The main idea behind Built to Sell is that whatever product or service your business provides, you won’t succeed long-term unless you have a robust system in place from its origination. I’ve chosen 6 tips from the Built to Sell book to help small business owners improve their processes and strengthen their foundation.
Built to Sell contains actionable tips that would benefit any entrepreneur considering selling a small business once they build it up. Read the book, and when you are ready to plan, organize, and implement these ideas, you will need a business coach to help.
