Friday Finance: Would Your Business Survive Without You
Many businesses rely heavily on a few key people to keep running. However, business owners should set their businesses up to survive on their own, like the role of parents launching capable children.
One way to achieve this objective is to set up a business and its processes in a way that would continue to be successful if the company were sold to an outside entity.
Often this requires changing processes, delegating authority and a lot of staff training. This idea makes sense regardless of the macroeconomic conditions, but it is especially important during a recession because it allows the business owner to steer the ship rather than row the boat.
