If a business only works because everything's in the owner's head, it's not actually sellable, it's a job that ends the day they leave. The gap between "I run this business" and "this business can run without me" usually comes down to whether anyone else has been handed the knowledge to carry it.

Full episode out now, go have a listen.

14 years in the making and now it could be yours.

The Oxford Bistro is one of those rare businesses that has it all. Award winning, profitable and genuinely loved by the community. Centrally located with the coast and countryside on your doorstep.

With a $50M heritage hub about to open nearby and room to grow, the timing couldn't be better.

This is what work-life balance actually looks like.

Call Sami Chesterton at Tabak Business Sales to find out more.

If an exit is on your horizon, start with your accountant.

Get the numbers right. Build forecasts. Map the timing. A well-structured plan 12–24 months out can materially change your outcome.

Even six extra months of strong trading can shift EBITDA and significantly lift value.

The question is simple: would you hold on if it meant adding real dollars to your sale price?

Let’s plan it properly.

Rushing to market can cost you more than you think.

An extra six months of strong trading can shift the weighting of your numbers, lift EBITDA and materially increase value, sometimes by hundreds of thousands.

If you’ve got a year, even better.

Don’t ease off. Push sales. Protect momentum. Every strong month compounds your position, for you and for a buyer.

Vendor finance can be a strategic lever in the right deal.

It’s where the seller leaves part of the purchase price in the business as a loan to the buyer, rather than receiving the full amount upfront.

Done properly, it signals confidence in the business, expands the pool of capable buyers, and can strengthen the overall sale price.

It’s not suitable for every transaction. But as part of a well-planned exit strategy, it’s a structure worth understanding.

We’ll help you assess when it adds leverage and when a clean break is the better move.

If one client makes up 40% or more of your revenue, that's a red flag for buyers.

Not because your business isn't good. But because if that client leaves after you do, the business looks very different.

Customer concentration risk is one of the first things serious buyers look at. The good news? It's fixable but not overnight.

If you're thinking about selling in the next 2 years, now is the time to diversify your revenue base.
We can help you identify the gaps and plan around them.

Two businesses can earn the same $300K.

One owner works 60 hours a week. The other works 15.

They are not worth the same.

Buyers pay more for a business that runs efficiently, with systems in place and less reliance on the owner. When the hard work is already done, risk drops and value rises.

Build it to run without you, and you create time, freedom, and a stronger sale price.
