Multimillionaire Acquisitions Advisor Shares How To Sell Your Business At Highest Valuation - Saul Cohen And Lily Patrascu
Saul Cohen, who has supported over 100 acquisitions, specializes in helping business owners sell their companies at the highest possible valuation in the shortest possible time span. He explains that 80–85% of businesses never sell, often because they are structured as lifestyle businesses where the owner is the primary asset. Saul emphasizes that successful exits require building identifiable, transferrable assets and a strong second-tier management team. He recommends a three-year process to systemize operations, clean up financials, and shift the owner's role to make the business more appealing to buyers. One of his clients improved from a £600K valuation to a £1.6M sale after implementing quarterly management accounts and hiring a competent in-house bookkeeper.
