Text me your thoughts

I’m sure we’ve all been there - seen a sign on a window or a post in a local facebook group with that ‘business for sale’ headline. It starts you thinking…what if??
In this episode I’ve pulled together five key things to consider, to look out for, to plan for if you’re thinking of buying an established business or, if you already have.
There are more things to consider but here are my five:
Brand reputation and identity
Marketing assets
Staff
Supply chain
Business plan and/or strategy
Let me know if this episode inspires you to get started or to strengthen the business you’re in right now - in your small town.
