Exit Readiness Webinar: How to Make Your Business More Valuable

November

2026

Value is built long before the sale

Most owners start preparing for exit when they're already halfway out the door. By then, the things that move the price most are the hardest to change. The best outcomes are built years earlier.

And the clock just got louder. The Autumn Budget on 28 October 2026 cut the lifetime limit for Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) from £1 million to £500,000, for disposals from 6 April 2027. A higher or additional rate taxpayer with their full limit unused could pay up to £30,000 more tax on the same sale.

So we're going live to show you what drives value, what quietly drains it and what to do about both.

The details

Date: Thursday 26 November 2026
Time: 1pm (UK time)
Where: Zoom or LinkedIn Live
Hosts: Michael Rutherford and Steven Kivelehan

What we'll cover

What buyers look at first. The numbers, the story and the risks they price in. We'll show you your business the way a buyer sees it.
Owner dependency. Why a business that can't run without you is worth less, and the practical steps that change that.
Financials that hold up. Management accounts, recurring revenue and margins that survive due diligence rather than unravel in it.
The tax picture. What the BADR changes mean for your timeline, and who the new Founders' Relief is really for.
Your next 12 months. Where to start building value now, whether you plan to sell in two years or ten.

We'll finish with a live Q&A, so bring your questions.

‍

Who it's for

Owners of limited companies who want to sell, step back or bring in investment in the years ahead. If you'd rather know what your business is worth than guess, this hour is for you.

In the meantime, why not check what your business is worth?

You don't have to wait until the 26th to start. Our free Business Valuation Calculator gives you an indicative range in around three minutes. It starts with what businesses in your sector sell for, then adjusts for the six things buyers price hardest. You'll also see how much value you could still build.

Bring your number to the webinar and you'll know exactly which parts of the session matter most to you.
