So, you start a business, you grow your business, you expand your customer base and you continue on a successful path and upward trajectory, but what's next?
Well, at some stage, you might want to consider selling the business as an exit strategy, but this can be complex, fraught with stress and there are a myriad of options to confuse and potentially confound too.
Which option might be right for you, and how do you know?

So what CAN it be like and what IS IT like to be the "acquired" and indeed the "acquirer"?
To explore both sides of the "Business Buying & Business Selling Equation", we meet Peter Rowlands, Senior VP of Indutrade UK who have a positive and on-going business acquisition programme, as Indutrade, having acquired over 200 businesses globally in over 30 years of trading, and Paul Connor, Managing Director of Ellard, acquired by Indutrade UK over 3 years ago.
Whether interested in buying and selling businesses or not, this is a fascinating episode that covers discussions around areas such as;

The discussion might just surprise you.
Another great episode of The Impact Sessions Podcast. As always, feedback is most welcome.
