Business Survival \u2013 Would your business in South Glasgow still thrive, or would it suffer a catastrophic failure if you suddenly stepped away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Business<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s tough to remove yourself from the day-to-day operations when you\u2019re passionate and busy. However sudden accidents, illnesses, or family emergencies can \u2013 and will \u2013 happen and you need to be able to step back knowing your systems are robust enough to cope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your business to work for you, you need to make yourself replaceable. Large corporations have plans in place to mitigate what\u2019s known as \u2018Key Person Risk\u2019. But when you run a small entrepreneurial venture, who is the backup?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more you can train and empower your team to perform the business\u2019s essential daily functions without micromanagement, the closer you\u2019ll be able to enjoy a lifestyle business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Establish repeatable and scalable support infrastructure to run the daily operations and create a great team that you can lean on. Your staff need a common purpose \u2013 knowing why what they\u2019re doing matters \u2013 as well as clear expectations around their roles. By creating a suitable work environment, where employees both individually and as a team are more efficient and likely to enjoy what they do, you\u2019ll breathe easier knowing they have your back (and your business) in an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it\u2019s important to know what the business looks like without you. An exit strategy is often thought of as the way to end a business \u2014 which it can be \u2014 but in best practice, it\u2019s a plan that moves a business toward long-term goals and allows a smooth transition to a new phase. That may involve re-imagining business direction or leadership, keeping financially sustainable, or pivoting for challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fully formed exit strategy takes all business stakeholders, finances and operations into account and details all actions necessary to sell or close. Strong plans recognise the true value of a business and provide a foundation for future goals and new directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Tips:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. No one is irreplaceable<\/strong> \u2013 Challenge yourself to step away for a week. Which systems fall over? Which procedures get left hanging? Which duties get ignored? Go cold turkey as a test case for the time you may have to leave your business in the hands of others.<\/li>
  2. Embrace innovation<\/strong> \u2013 Get systems that are simple, streamlined, effective and can be used by multiple key team members. Make sure anyone can log in and see exactly what\u2019s needed for what reason at any time.<\/li>
  3. Recognise the value you\u2019re creating<\/strong> \u2013 A business that doesn\u2019t rely on its owner is worth a lot more when the time comes to sell or pass the reins to someone else.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
