Commandment 6 - Be a Growth Story

The 10 Commandments of Selling Your Business: Commandment 6 - Be a Growth Story

When it comes to selling your business, remember this: buyers don’t pay for the past — they’re buying the future.

Your financial history may earn you a meeting, but it’s your growth story that closes the deal. Buyers and investors want to see a clear, data-backed vision of where the business is headed — and how it will get there.

The Insight

A well-defined growth story turns your track record into investor confidence. It connects your performance to your potential and positions your business as a platform for expansion, not just a stable asset.

The Problem

No vision means no premium. If buyers can’t see what’s next, they won’t pay extra for it. A lack of clarity around market opportunity, scalability, or execution roadmap leads to conservative offers — or worse, lost interest.

The Truth

A compelling growth narrative — grounded in data, execution, and opportunity — earns top-tier multiples. When you can clearly articulate your future potential and prove you have the systems and strategy to achieve it, buyers compete to be part of your next chapter.

Your growth story is your most valuable asset.
