I advocate that all entrepreneurs should construct their businesses with the foresight that they might eventually consider selling them. I hold this viewpoint not because I assume that selling the business is everyone's ultimate objective, but because I firmly believe that adopting this perspective will lead to the development of robust processes and systems capable of enduring the test of time, regardless of your presence.

 

In reality, none of us can accurately predict the future, and in the unfortunate event that something were to happen to you or a crucial member of your business, would your enterprise be able to persevere? Establishing procedures and mechanisms that can ensure the continuous operation of your business is a prudent long-term strategy, and it might also make your business more appealing for potential buyers.
