How to build a business to sell: Creating value, resilience and exit optionality | Rachel Murphy
Scaling a business is not just about increasing revenue. If key relationships, decisions, processes and knowledge remain dependent on the founder, growth can make a business more fragile and ultimately more difficult to sell.
In this episode of Scale-Up Sessions, we explore what it takes to build a business that is valuable, transferable and ready for an eventual exit. From reducing founder dependency and documenting the way the business operates to creating a data room and understanding potential buyers, we unpack how founders can build resilience today while creating more options for the future.
Joining us is Rachel Murphy, founder of The Grafter, an advisory firm supporting leaders as they scale, raise investment and exit their businesses. Her 25-year career has included turnaround and transformation work across the public and private sectors, as well as leading the launch of the NHS App. She has also built and sold two companies and is now building her third.
