A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Story
A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Smart options for smart players!
"Exit Strategy Playbook" serves as an exceptional guide for those wanting a smart and highly digestable big picture view of their options when planning to exit a business, I particularly appreciated this work as a rare glimpse into an often-opaque world of private equity -- a world that Adam has not only mastered himself but makes look so easy.

Great overview of business readiness
We all know the wisdom of beginning with the end in mind, however when it comes to selling a business, we tend to miss that part, instead focusing on the building part. Adam's book is a great nuts and bolts overview of how to set up your business not only for operational success, but ultimate success in a sale or transition. Did you know 50% of all businesses are purchased by private equity nowadays? His other book on private equity transactions is worth a read as well!
