Show Notes
One of the biggest buyer concerns in any deal is whether the business depends too much on the founder. If it does, that’s a red flag—and it can hurt both valuation and deal structure.
In this episode, Kirk Michie shares how to prove your business can run without you. From building a capable leadership team to showing successors in the room during buyer meetings, he explains the practical steps that make buyers confident and let you take more cash at closing.
