In 2016, Ashford took what little was left after his business failed and invested £ 4,000 in developing proposal software for accountants which he named GoProposal. By 2020, GoProposal was a slick application with £1.5 million in revenue and hundreds of accountants using it. That’s when Ashford agreed to be acquired for a healthy 8-figure sum.

In this, the second in a two-part episode (here’s part one in case you missed it), you will discover how to:

  • Impress during a Management presentation.
  • Create excitement for your team about the idea of selling.
  • Grow your company despite your attention being on the sale of your company.
  • Maximize the value of your company during the negotiation process.
  • Survive diligence
