Episode 42 – How to build a construction business buyers want before It’s time to sell

Building a successful construction business is one thing. Building one that someone else wants to buy takes a different kind of planning.

In this episode of From The Source, Frankie and Sarah sit down with Baker Tilly's National Managing Director of Corporate Finance, Mike MacIsaac to explore what makes a construction business attractive to potential buyers and why preparing for a future sale should begin well before you’re ready to step away. From developing a strong leadership team and reducing reliance on the owner to strengthening client relationships, financial reporting and the quality of your project pipeline, the conversation looks at the factors that can have a meaningful impact on business value.

We also unpack some of the common issues that can make buyers hesitate, and the practical steps owners can take to address them. Because ultimately, building a business that can thrive without you doesn’t just make it more attractive when it’s time to sell. It can make it a stronger, more resilient and more valuable business today.
