If you're a business owner or in a leadership role, this episode could genuinely change how you think about running and growing your company.

My guest is Mike Paton, an entrepreneur and author who is one of the driving forces behind EOS—the entrepreneurial operating system

We implemented EOS at my firm, Capital Partners, a few years ago, and it was truly transformative. So getting the chance to sit down with Mike was not just a privilege - it was personal.

• Mike explains EOS and walks us through the six key components every business must master to become more focused, accountable, and scalable.
• We also explore the vital roles of the Visionary and the Integrator and how getting that relationship right can be a game-changer.
• And if you're thinking about selling your business one day, listen closely—Mike explains how fully embedding EOS can significantly boost the value and readiness of your company for exit.

Whether you’re already familiar with Traction, or you're hearing about EOS for the first time, I promise you’ll walk away with powerful, practical insights and a few lightbulb moments!

The pod's strapline is "reverse engineering the formula for successful scale, sale, exit, and life on the other side," and that's exactly what we discuss in this episode—strategically reverse engineering success.

My guest today is Damian Connolly, the founder of a boutique accountancy business that focuses specifically on getting founders exit-ready and maximising their business sale value and terms.

Most business owners only sell once and are often unprepared for the most significant financial transaction of their lives, so our conversation will help you understand the process and what you should consider.

• During the discussion, Damian shares the 5 key issues to focus on several years out from your potential exit—and the one thing that will crush any value if you don’t fix it. And it affects most SME business owners.
• He shares a wild story about a founder he worked with who turned down an offer of £80m, believing his business was worth more, and came to regret that decision - an important lesson in timing and knowing how much is enough.
• He also explains the optimal time to begin your pre-exit journey and the 3-step process he uses when working with entrepreneurs.

If you are running a business, especially if you're maybe 3-5 years out from the sale, you’re going to get a lot out of this conversation.

So now ladies and gentlemen, discussing how to get exit-ready, I give you Mr Damian Connolly.

Welcome back to the latest episode of the Bulletproof Entrepreneur podcast. I’m your host Alan Smith and right from day one my goal for this pod was to provide a valuable resource for all UK founders and business owners.

And therefore I’m delighted today to bring you a masterclass in tax planning from one of the UK’s leading lights in tax advice for successful business owners.

Malli Kini is head of the entrepreneur team at Blick Rothenberg, a Top 10 firm having already enjoyed stints at PWC and EY.

Wherever I go now and when I speak with entrepreneurs, smart tax planning seems to be top of the agenda for discussion.

But getting access to the right kind of advice can be challenging and costly. So the next hour will be of huge value to you - and it’s completely free (other than for some of your time!)

During our conversation,

• We discussed some of the important areas to tackle if you’re 2 or 3 years away from a sale of your business - and why seeking advice early will be a huge benefit for you.
• We unpacked a unique tax planning structure known as a Family Investment Company and why many entrepreneurs are setting these up now.
• We also talked about the current exodus of business owners to other countries, what countries are popular and what the benefits can be.

And towards the end of our conversation, Malli provides a generous offer to all listeners and viewers of this podcast so be sure to check that out - it could make all the difference for you and your business.

Just before you get into the conversation, I wanted to mention that we’ve now launched the podcast on youtube as well and so if you prefer to watch the conversation do check out the Bulletproof Entrepreneur podcast channel - links to it and to the key discussion points are below.

But now ladies and gentlemen I give you Malli Kini
