“I’d signed a consulting agreement. I thought they’d need me. They didn’t.”

A vendor said this to me after settlement.

I’d sold his logistics business to a publicly listed company. He achieved his price and the outcome he wanted. On paper, everything went right.

As part of the deal, he’d signed a consulting agreement to help with the handover. He expected to be busy for months.

But a large buyer has its own systems, its own managers and its own way of doing things. Very soon after settlement, they simply didn’t need him.

He’d got the result he wanted. And he still felt a little lost.

That’s not weakness. When you’ve built something for years, being needed is part of who you are. No contract can promise that.

What I took from it: a consulting agreement secures your time, not your role. Bigger buyers often move quickly to make the business their own.

So before settlement, it’s worth asking yourself two questions:

→ What will the buyer really need from me, and for how long?
→ What will fill my week once they don’t?

Neither is about money. Both matter.

If you’ve sold a business, or you’re thinking about it: what are you most worried about missing?

No wrong answers.

Has this happened to you? I’d love to hear your experience below.

“Mum, I love you. But I don't want to run the centre.”
An owner told me her daughter said this over Sunday lunch.
She'd built her childcare centre over 20 years. She'd always pictured handing it on.
If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. And it's no one's failure. Children grow up and build their own
lives. That's what we raise them to do.
PwC's latest Family Business Survey found about a third of Australian family businesses have no
succession plan at all.
What does that mean for you? Many owners are quietly counting on a handover nobody has actually
talked about.
The kindest thing you can do for your family is ask early. Then you still have choices:
1. A son or daughter who wants in, with time to learn the business
2. A family member who takes a smaller role
3. A sale to an outside buyer, with the family's blessing
4. Staying on for a while after a sale
None of these is wrong. The only hard version is finding out late.
So, a gentle question: have you asked your kids directly whether they want the business?
No wrong answers.
Has this happened to you? I'd love to hear your experience below.
