Is Your Business Too Dependent on You🫵?
Discover how reliant your business is on you, key staff, customers, suppliers or technology!
Discover how reliant your business is on you, key staff, customers, suppliers or technology!
You built something successful - but now it’s hard to grow or to step away, and impossible to sell without you in the picture.
That’s Key Person Dependency (KPD) - and it silently kills SME growth, reduces valuation by an average 35%, and impacts founder wellbeing.
Whether you're reliant on yourself, one team member, a key client, or a supplier - you’re running this risk is something no business can afford!
But all is not lost - this is also your biggest opportunity.
Many small and medium-sized enterprises depend on a handful of people, systems, and suppliers to keep things running. This concentration creates significant risks, including:
Inability to step away from day-to-day operations, or take meaningful breaks
Reduced business valuation when seeking investment or planning an exit
Red flags for investors, buyers, and partners concerned about continuity
Increased pressure and burnout among key team members
Mitigating these risks doesn't have to be a drain - it could be your biggest opportunity!
But how do you achieve it?
It requires a founder-focused strategy that builds resilience and business freedom - so your enterprise can thrive, even when you’re not hands-on.
