How to Scale & Sell Your Company For Millions - with Nick Bradley
Show Notes
Scaling a business is one thing, but building one that’s sellable - and for millions - is a whole different game.
In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Nick Bradley, who knows exactly what it takes to turn a business into a valuable asset that buyers want.
We’re getting into the real questions: is your business even sellable? What makes it attractive to buyers? And how do you build it so it runs without you at the centre of it all?
If you’ve ever thought about what’s next for your business - whether that’s scaling, selling, or creating more freedom - this conversation will get you thinking.
