    You’ve probably never considered selling or exiting your trade business… here’s why you should. Guest starring Craig West, founder of Succession Plus

    You’ve probably never considered selling your trade business let alone exiting it; most trade business owners simply walk away or pass it down to family when they’re ready to retire.
    What if we told you there was a better way? One that would secure your financial freedom WITHOUT the business.
    In this week’s episode of The Tradie Show, Andy and Angela talk to special guest Craig West, founder of Succession Plus, about how to reduce risks and increase the value of your business, in order to sell or exit (for a nice profit!).
    If you want to find out more information about Succession Plus, click HERE.
    And if you want help getting you to the stage where you're ready to think about selling up, reaching out and book in a Strategy Session with Andy today! In this session, you’ll smash out what you need to next in your trade business to provide you with clarity and direction.
