About Marc Adams

Helping Entrepreneurs 10x Their Business Value and Exit Tax-Free

Marc Adams is a sought-after strategy mentor and the best-selling author of Secrets to 10xing Your Business and Cashing Out Tax-Free. In his book, he shares exactly what business owners need to focus on to multiply their company’s value and secure tax-free exits. But Marc’s story goes far beyond traditional business success.

At the height of his career, Marc had achieved remarkable milestones—taking a company from $140 million to a $1 billion valuation, building a $30 million revenue stream from scratch in Southeast Asia in 18 months with no budget, and turning around a loss-making $15 million business to exit for $140 million. Many would consider these the pinnacle of success. But for Marc, his greatest triumph came from an entirely different battle. He was diagnosed with stage four cancer and given just six months to live. Faced with this diagnosis, it was a heartfelt comment from his 10-year-old son, Thomas, that shifted his mindset and gave him the strength to fight.

Amazingly, Marc survived—but it wasn’t due to conventional treatment. In a twist of fate, doctors believe that contracting the original strain of Covid-19 actually killed his cancer, saving his life. This astonishing story of survival redefined his perspective and approach, fueling his passion to help business owners achieve breakthroughs that defy expectations and create generational wealth.

My guest today,Marc Adams, is the author of a book by the same title and has spent nearly four decades deep in the trenches of business and entrepreneurship. His extensive experience, from a career in corporate life to setting up his own business, has given him a unique perspective on the ups and downs of life as an entrepreneur.

A cancer diagnosis in 2020, giving him six months to live, compelled him to write a book about everything he knows about business building, creating entrepreneurial value, and exiting in the most tax-effective way.

Happily, Marc overcame the diagnosis and is now in good health, providing advice and consultancy to founders keen to benefit from his knowledge and experience.

During our conversation, Marc unpacked some steps you can take to increase revenue, reduce costs, and multiply your company’s value.

He explains how he helped a company reduce its costs by over £2 million and redeploy that capital to fuel future growth.He explains what so many businesses have got wrong about their website and digital presence and how they can improve it and drive sales.He also shares some smart ideas on getting financially organised ahead of a sale to minimise the tax burden on founders when they sell their company.And as someone who only a few years ago was staring death in the face after his terminal diagnosis, Marc's view of what true wealth means is well worth hearing.

He goes through so much more, and we could have gone on for another hour and still not covered everything!

Check out the show notes for links to some fabulous resources Marchas offered for free to listeners on this podcast, including a complementary diagnosis of your current business based on the advice in his book.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr Marc Adams.
