Last week, we welcomed business owners to our seminar on one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face: how to make your business less dependent on you – and easier to sell when the time is right.

If you weren’t able to join us on the day, or want to revisit the insights, we’ve put together the full recording and a quick recap of the key takeaways below.

Event highlights:

  • Why dependency is dangerous – Too many businesses grind to a halt the moment the owner steps away. We explored the risks of being indispensable and how it limits growth and valuation.

  • Building transferable value – From processes to people, we discussed the steps that make a business more resilient and more attractive to future buyers.

  • Exit-ready thinking – Even if selling isn’t on your radar today, creating a business that could be sold gives you freedom, flexibility, and peace of mind.

  • Practical frameworks – Attendees walked away with actionable tools to start reducing dependency straight away.

What some of our attendees had to say…
