In many ways, Buy, Grow, Exit is the culmination of two decades of research, experience and realisations about the world of business based on advising owners during their most vulnerable moments.
In this book, we examine not just the three stages of the business cycle, but the interaction of these three phases of business during acquisition, growth and exit.
I am always amazed at how many businesses are started (or acquired), grown and sold without ever giving consideration to this trilogy in an integrated way.
And, to this day, I believe that understanding the interaction of these three areas is the key to using a business to effectively build wealth, and ultimately, freedom.
Wherever you are in the process, it’s never too late to understand the principles behind driving great deals.
Buy, Grow, Exit is about how (and why) to acquire, grow and exit a business in a way that maximises the value you will ultimately be able to extract and minimises the risks along the way.
This book has three parts: Buy, Grow and Exit. And each of these charts a different point in the lifecycle of a business.
Part I, Buy, is most relevant if you are . . . buying – go figure! You might be starting out in business and are at the point of that initial acquisition, or perhaps you are in growth mode and are using acquisitions as a growth tool.
This is where you need to understand the strategy of acquisition. What you need to look out for. How to maximise the value you can extract, and minimise the risk.
This is an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT phase to come back to after every acquisition, during any period of fast growth, and before exit.
It’s the phase that protects the assets you have bought and built, and locks in that value. It’s also the phase where you get to set the business up in a way that will maximise its value, and the value you will be able to extract.
This is the pointy end, where it’s imperative to understand the methodology of the sale process, and to understand the potential bumps along the way so they don’t throw you off course.
It’s also where it’s important to understand the levers you can pull, and ultimately how to control the deal and the risks, so you can maximise the pot of gold at the end of that business rainbow.
