A majority of small businesses that intend to exit don’t actually sell. A big reason is owner-dependency. A business that can’t thrive without its owner will likely be less desirable to buyers. Listen in as Succession Stories host Laurie Barkman, The Business Transition Sherpa, talks with Christine Nicholson, an award-winning business mentor in the UK. An expert on exit and succession planning in owner-managed businesses, Christine is the author of four books offering practical advice on running better businesses including her latest book, “SELL IT,” helping business owners get their business and themselves ready for the hardest part of the entrepreneurial journey, leaving their business in the hands of others.  Enjoy this Succession Stories episode to learn why your business won’t sell and what you can fix now.   Find Christine Here: https://www.businessmentoruk.com/   My Links: ⏰️ Meet With Laurie: https://thebusinesstransitionsherpa.com/connect/ 🎙 Podcast: https://podfollow.com/succession-stories 🌐 Website: https://TheBusinessTransitionSherpa.com 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@successionstoriespodcast 😎 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauriebarkman/ ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LaurieBarkman 😺 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@businesstransitionsherpa     📘 THE BUSINESS TRANSITION HANDBOOK: Get a free PDF copy of "The Business Transition Handbook" by author Laurie Barkman:  https://thebusinesstransitionhandbook.com OR text TRANSITION to +1-762-320-2826   ❤️ Show us the love:  Submit a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
