Build a Business Worth Buying: Why the best businesses to sell are ones own

What is your business really worth - and could you change it? Most business owners have no idea what their business is really worth - or how to change it. They know their turnover and their stress levels, but not the one thing a buyer actually pays for. This book closes that gap. Written by a licensed Queensland business broker, it's the honest version: the one that tells you which of your add-backs a buyer's accountant will throw straight out, why a profitable business can still run out of cash, and what truly lifts the price when you sell. It follows four Queensland owners you'll recognise - a Brisbane café, a Gold Coast electrical trade, a Toowoomba wholesaler and a Sunshine Coast franchise. Here's the twist: the things that make a business worth buying are the very same things that make it better to own right now. Less stress. More freedom. Real choices. So whether you plan to sell next year or never, this book shows you how to build a business you can leave - before you need to leave it. Read your numbers - How buyers really value a business - Add-backs, honestly - The value levers - Your exit options - Inside a Queensland sale - Life after settlement The best business isn't the one someone will pay the most to buy - it's the one that gives its owner the freedom to choose what comes next.
