We believe that 90% of the companies looking to sell, not selling, is unacceptable. We promise that while business systems and processes may be unsexy, they’ll give you the desired freedom that got you into entrepreneurship in the first place. At the same time, external growth through acquisitions and joint ventures (JVs) is still the greatest way of scaling. That’s why you always want a solid systemized foundation before you start bolting on acquisitions and JVs. Otherwise, your company will look like an elephant trying to balance itself on a tight rope. The genius of ASE comes through when you grow externally on top of an operating system. And if you’re content with having a lifestyle business that doesn’t need external growth, that’s cool too; we won’t discriminate. You’ll at least have the peace of mind that it’s a turn-key business that can easily change hands when the time comes. Hopefully, that’s later rather than sooner, but with the black swan event that’s going to happen, your business must be systemized. Consequently, that’s why this might be one of the biggest opportunities for small to medium-sized (SME) business owners…. With the economy going down the drain in the 2024 recession, business owners realize that they have 3 choices: Reinforce their foundation; Scale; Or Exit.
