Key Takeaway

Build your business to sell it, even if you never plan to. A business that can run without you is worth exponentially more than one that depends on you. Create standard offerings, build recurring revenue, and develop a management team that operates independently.

The Review

John Warrillow's Built to Sell teaches business owners how to create a company that can thrive without them — and that someone would actually want to buy. The book follows the parable of Alex, a frustrated service company owner, and Ted, an entrepreneur who has built and sold multiple businesses. Through their conversations, Warrillow reveals the eight things that drive the value of a company: a standard service offering, recurring revenue, financial transparency, customer diversification, management team independence, and more. Essential for anyone who wants their business to be a wealth-building asset, not just a job.
