Build a Business that Runs Without you, So you Can Retire without Selling your Business
Most business owners over 60 dream of selling their business to retire, but few have a business that can operate, let alone grow or be sold, without their continued involvement. As a result, they face two uncomfortable options: sell a business that isn't ready to sell for 70%+ less than its worth, or keep working past the point they planned to retire.
Build to Retire offers a third, smarter path leading to financial freedom from any age.
Build to Retire shows you how to transform your business into a management-run, system-driven asset that generates reliable income for you and your family long after you step away from the day-to-day.
Instead of selling your life's work for a one-time payout, only to reinvest it for a much smaller income in unsecured investments, this book shows you how to build your business to become a secure retirement vehicle that makes you more money.
Inside, you'll discover:
How to make your business sale-ready even if you don't intend to sell yet.
How to create a management team capable of running the ship without you
How to systemise the business so it grows and thrives independently
How to protect and increase your retirement income by keeping ownership
How to transition out of your role without destabilising the business
If you're a business owner approaching retirement age and you want more freedom, more income, and more peace of mind, without giving up the business you build to Retire will show you exactly how to make that possible.
Build to Retire is your blueprint for stepping away confidently while your business
Thank you for visiting my Books store.
I've been in business for 30 years in 2026 and I have learnt so much of these years from my experiences, from my teams, a gaggle of mentors and many of my business friends and acquaintances. I love writing books and I have completed four so far and I plan on having a further four published by the end of 2026. My books focus on helping business people find true freedom and wealth. The type of wealth that enables them to work when they want, play when they want, spend as much time with friends and family as they want. I have two main groups I serve. Younger business owners who wish to accelerate their wealth development by acquiring equity in a multitude of businesses to bring about financial and time freedom whilst supporting the owners whose businesses they acquire equity within I also support those wishing to retire from business but wish to secure their greatest asset so it continues to pay them dividends even if they no longer work there. My teaching also help them transition from their current role to another role that is more fun and demands less time commitments. So they can enjoy life and explore new horizons. I would love your feedback once you have read my books! All the best David
