Why Most Recruitment Businesses Will Never Be Sellable
Most recruitment business owners will never sell their business.
Not because they don’t want to.
Because they’re building something nobody wants to buy.
I know that stings. But it’s the truth.
And it’s exactly what Mike Ames told me when I sat down with him for one of the most honest conversations I’ve had in this industry.
Mike has built and sold two recruitment businesses.
The first went for £24 million.
The second went for £15 million.
That’s not luck.
That’s not a market fluke.
That’s a man who understood something most recruiters never figure out… and did it twice to prove it.
So I Asked Him Everything
How he built both businesses to be genuinely attractive to buyers.
The mistakes he made the first time around that cost him money.
What he’d do differently if he was starting again today.
And what he still sees holding recruitment business owners back right now, in this market, with these challenges.
He didn’t hold back. Not once.
Why This Matters
Whether you’re thinking about an exit in three years or fifteen…
Or you’ve never even considered selling at all…
This conversation will change how you think about the business you’re building today.
Building a recruitment business that runs well is one thing.
Building one that somebody would actually want to buy is something else entirely.
