This is why no one would want to buy your business (yet)

You may have seen the above story in the Daily Record yesterday—Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar’s brother is about to cash in on his fast food business. Multiple sites. Dozens of staff. Systems in place. A real business.

Here’s the real story: He built something someone else wants to buy.

And it got me thinking…

Most women I work with are brilliant at what they do—but they’re still the business. If they step away, everything stops. That’s not a business. That’s a job with overheads.

If that’s you—it means your business has zero value unless you’re in it every day.

Harsh? Maybe.

True? Absolutely.

Now here’s the opportunity:

When you build your business with systems…
When you grow your team…
When you create marketing and sales that don’t rely on you…

You create freedom.
You create real value.
And you create an asset someone else could eventually buy.

It’s not about selling tomorrow. It’s about building something worth buying.

Because one day, you might want to cash out. Retire. Move abroad. Start something new. Or just step away without everything falling apart.

If you’re still in the day-to-day, spinning plates, chasing clients and making everything happen yourself—there is no “exit strategy.” There's just exhaustion.

That’s why this matters now.

If the only way your business works is with you in it—it’s time to start building a real business.

The kind that sells—even when you’re not around.

If reading this made you pause and think about how dependent your business still is on you—that might be your sign it’s time to put some bigger foundations in place!

Speak soon.
