How to prepare your agency for an acquisition - Podcast
Listen to my episode on the Agency Life podcast
Many agency owners don't begin with the end in mind. Did you?
If you answer questions like "How much do we need to make?" with "I don't know...more!" or "When will I be able to retire?" with "Not now!"...
...you're not alone.
Seasoned agency owner, Karl Heasman, Founder of Greycott Consultancy has had his own successful exits and now helps other agency owners prepare for acquisition--by beginning with the end in mind.
In this episode, he shares:
Where to start looking for potential buyers for your agency (with a few surprising additions to the typical list)
How to determine a potential timeline for an exit
The important financial metrics you should be tracking now
Karl also shares practical advice for managing conversations internally when you've decided to pursue a relationship with a "growth partner."
