How2Exit Episode 56: Cliff Spolander - Serial Entrepreneur, CEO, Advisor and Author.

Ronald Skelton

Aug 17, 2022

Cliff is the author of two books: The Smarter Exit: A growth and exit plan for your business and The Cash Flow Code: 6 keys to unlocking ultimate cash flow

He is the CEO of Business By Design, the UK’s leading exit planning advisory company.

He is a serial entrepreneur who has started, bought, sold, franchised and licensed numerous businesses and has operated in the retail, education, health and construction sectors.

Cliff is on a mission to stop hard working SME business owners failing to exit their businesses successfully due to insufficient clarity and a lack of focused business, personal and financial plans. He is frustrated to see so many business owners working extremely hard but, when they come to exit, failing to realize a return on investment for all the years of effort. Furthermore, life is unpredictable so Cliff wants to see every owner being more prepared for unexpected life events, such as illness, a change in personal circumstances or maybe even death. Cliff is passionate about working with business owners to create a clear, focused and strategic exit plan for their business.
