What really makes a business valuable? Is it the profit it generates today, or the ability for the owner to step away and have the business keep running without them?
In this episode of In the Trenches, host Hanif Ibrahim speaks with Adrien Giraud, Management Consultant and Business Valuer at Insight Advisory Group. Adrien shares practical insights on how to look at your business through the eyes of a buyer and what you can do to increase its long-term value.
They break down the difference between owning a job and building a business that can run without you, the key drivers that shape valuation and sale price, and the practical steps owners can take to prepare for growth, acquisition, or exit.
If you’ve ever wondered not just “what is my business worth?” but also “how do I make it worth more?”—this conversation will give you clear, actionable ideas to start working on today.
