BIP Chat with Penny Power OBE
BIP Chat with Peter Stansbury - Achieving the exit you want from your business
June 4, 2025
Penny chats to Peter Stansbury, an Exitologist – helping founders build their business and achieve their exit goals. In this engaging conversation, Penny explored with Peter the aspects of exit planning that many founders overlook. Peter shared how successful exits address both the hard business metrics - valuation, timing, deal structure - and the deeply personal elements that often catch entrepreneurs off guard. They discussed how founders frequently struggle with identity loss after selling their companies, the challenge of letting go of day-to-day control, and not understanding what 'success' truly means beyond just financial returns. Peter emphasised how exit planning should begin years before the actual sale, to maximise business value, and prepare founders life after exit. The conversation revealed the importance of clarity on personal goals, family considerations, and legacy aspirations, allowing them to effectively define the next chapter of their lives.
