The Exit Architect: Why most business sales fail (and how to ensure yours doesn’t).

3 June 2026, 4pm - 5pm, Webinar

The Exit Architect: Why most business sales fail (and how to ensure yours doesn’t).

Build a business that can thrive without you at the centre – the strategy behind a successful exit starts years before the sale.

Join our 45‑minute introductory webinar for a first look at the 3‑Year Runway methodology, and the thinking, motivations and real‑world challenges this programme is designed to help you solve.

The Reality Check

Building a business to £1m, £5m or £10m in revenue is a monumental achievement. But selling that business for its true value is a different skill set entirely.

Most Business Owners are so deeply embedded in the day‑to‑day that they unintentionally “de‑value” the asset they’ve spent decades building. If you are the primary engine of your business, you are also its biggest risk to a buyer.

This webinar is designed to help you understand why that happens, and what you can do now to change the trajectory.

What We’ll Cover

• The 90‑Day Test — A simple diagnostic to reveal whether you own a saleable asset or a high‑pressure job.
• The Multiple Gap — Why two near‑identical companies in our region can end up with wildly different valuations.
• The 2026 Landscape — Why “wait and see” is now a commercially dangerous approach to exit planning.
• The Masterclass Preview — A first look at the 2‑day programme at Norwich Business School and what you’ll take away.

Who Is This For?

This session is designed for Business Owners, MDs and Shareholders of mature businesses who are beginning to think about their Next Chapter, whether that’s in 12 months or five years.

Coffee or tea and cake will be served, if you remember to get some in!
