Building a business that operates independently of its owner increases its appeal and value to potential buyers.

That's according to Bill Withers, founder of ADAPT by Design, and former owner of Acquire, a tech company which he grew with multiple overseas branches. He is author of 'Succession Thinking: Build a resilient business and deliver sustained value'. Succession thinking requires building a robust infrastructure, including capable leaders and a strong culture. This approach, he insists, is particularly important for SMEs and should be integrated early in every business's development.
