When I sold my last business, I struggled because I wasn't prepared from the beginning. Having a clear exit plan, knowing my business's value, and keeping important documents organized would have made a major difference. I wish I met Rachel Murphy back then because she had a solid strategy from day one. She built relationships with potential buyers early, focused on revenue growth, and understood the importance of brand strength.But now you can learn from her and make your future exit as smooth as possible!

About Rachel Murphy

Rachel Murphy is a successful entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the digital and health sectors. She has founded and exited two companies, including Difrent, an award-winning digital services company that delivered transformational projects for the NHS and other public sector clients. Her expertise in user-centered design and digital solutions has made a significant impact in these fields.

Currently, she leads The Grafter, a consultancy helping professional services businesses grow, scale, and exit, maximizing their value. Rachel is also a public speaker and health tech advisor.

Key Insights:

  • Understand your valuation. Understand the factors that contribute to your business's value, such as revenue growth, profitability, intellectual property, and brand strength.
  • Diversify offerings. Explore opportunities to expand into related sectors. For instance, if your business is in healthcare, consider entering private healthcare, pharmaceuticals, or life sciences to diversify and increase market presence.
  • Document important processes. Develop detailed documentation of your business processes. This includes creating a playbook that outlines how your business operates, which is essential for scaling and for potential buyers.
  • Develop a strong brand. A recognizable and trusted brand can significantly enhance your business’s valuation and appeal to buyers.
  • Be honest. Be upfront about the strengths and weaknesses of your business. Buyers appreciate transparency and it builds trust, which can lead to smoother negotiations and a more realistic valuation.

Rachel's best advice for entrepreneurs:

“I always encourage founders to do is be honest about what's working and what isn't in their business.”
