The Starting Point: Why Every Exit Begins with a Current State Assessment
Update: 2025-09-17
Description
Before you can maximise the value of your business or plan your succession, you need to know exactly where you stand today.
In this episode of Exit Insights, Darryl Bates-Brownsword and Kevin Harrington break down the importance of a current state assessment – the essential first step in exit planning.
They explore:
- Why risk is the biggest driver of business valuation.
- The red flags buyers look for (owner dependence, messy financials, client concentration, weak contracts)
- How to make your business run smoothly without you at the centre
- Why aligning your personal wealth plan with your business plan is vital
💡 “If you can’t take a three-month cruise without calls from the office, your business isn’t ready to sell.”
Whether your exit is two years away or ten, this episode will help you reduce risk, increase valuation, and prepare for a smooth transition on your terms.
