The Switzerland Structure - What it is and why it matters - Bill Black

A business´s “sellability” requires that the business not be overly reliant on any one customer, employee or supplier. The name "The Switzerland Structure" was inspired by Switzerland´s focus on neutrality. Most businesses we talk need to start making improvements in this area to maximize the value of their company.

Over The next few days we are going to discuss The Switzerland Structure and how it applies in 3  areas of your business: your suppliers, your employees and your customers. We will discuss ideas you can put into play to increase your independence, thereby increasing the ease of sale and the value of your business to a buyer in the future.
