Focus On Building Value, Not Just Revenue, Darryl Bates-Brownsword

Host Laurie Barkman, The Business Transition SherpaⓇ, is joined by Darryl Bates-Brownsword, Managing Partner of Succession Plus in the UK. He hosts The Exit Insights Podcast and is a business consultant with over two decades of experience building and selling companies.

They discuss the importance of preparing for business exits and scaling entrepreneurial ventures. For business transition, you need a well-thought-out plan, valuation growth, and clear vision for the future. 


Listen in to learn more about:

  • Making a mindset shift from revenue growth to valuation growth to make a business more attractive for exit.


  • Beginning with the end in mind to know what you want as an outcome from exiting your business and what your vision is for after exiting.


  • Planning the “earnout period” before exiting to de-risk the business transaction
