Free Workshop: How to Remove Owner Dependency and Increase The Value of Your Business

 For established business owners who want their business to perform without them, remove owner reliance, and become a transferable asset they can step back from, hand over, or exit.
Full transparency:
Legacy Club is new business ... 
... but we’re not new business owners.
Collectively, we’ve spent over 60 years building, scaling and exiting businesses that have generated more than £200 million in revenue. During that time, we’ve helped hundreds of owners increase the value of their business and successfully step back, transition leadership, or exit entirely.

However ...
  • You don't know us
  • You've likely never heard of us
  • And this new business does not yet have a track-record
That’s why, we’d like to invite you to come and join us, for free.

On 19th March - we’re hosting a full-day workshop at Resorts World in Solihull to share the structure that you can follow to double the financial valuation of your business in 12 months by removing owner reliance and establishing key systems.

If you feel stuck in your business, overwhelmed by daily decisions, and yearn for a predictable, self-performing company - one you can confidently step back from, hand over or exit - this workshop is designed exactly for you.

We’ll guide you through the core focus areas and proven methodology for removing owner reliance - and show you the key value levers that accelerate your financial valuation that are applicable to all businesses whether you’re a window cleaner, window installer or window manufacturer.

  • Thursday 19th March, 2026
  • 9am arrival, 4.30pm finish
  • Resorts World, Solihull
  • ​Lunch, coffee and snacks included
  • ​Limited to 25 attendees
Who Is This Workshop For?
This is not a seminar for those looking for "tips." It is a high-impact day for ambitious owners who have built something successful but have realised that success has become a trap.

This is for you, if you
  • You want your freedom back. You’re ready to move from being the "engine" of the business to being the "engineer" of a valuable asset.
  • You want to be "Exit-Ready" at all times. Whether you sell in 12 months or 10 years, you want the peace of mind that comes with owning a truly saleable asset.
  • ​You want to stop guessing. You want to stop wondering if a sale will fund your financial future and start knowing exactly how your business, personal and wealth plans align.
  • You feel the "Invisible Ceiling." You want to stop "thinking" about the future and spend one day actually building it with a room of peers who get it
What We'll Cover On The Day:
Rather than cramming in content, the day is structured around a small number of high-impact areas that compound together. Including:
  • The Buyers Lens - Would you buy your business? View your business through the eyes of an objective investor to spot the hidden gaps and "value-killers" that devalue your hard work.
  • The Exit Reality - Move from being a "distressed seller" to a "strategic owner." We will define the different exit paths and why your current trajectory determines which one you are forced to take.
  • ​Owner-Dependency Killer Moves - Identify what is over-complicating your business and stopping it from becoming an asset that thrives without you.
  • The 90 Day Plan - No more "thinking" about the future. You’ll leave with a concrete "Stop-Start-Continue" roadmap and a prioritized 90-day plan. These are the high-leverage moves you will implement immediately to start your legacy journey.
This applies whether you want to exit in one year or ten.
What You'll Walk Away With:
This isn’t theory. And it’s not motivation. By the end of the day, you’ll leave with:
  • A clear understanding of why your business currently relies on you - and where that reliance actually lives
  • A practical structure for removing yourself from day-to-day decision making without losing control
  • ​Clarity on the specific systems that increase business value (and the ones that don’t)
  • A framework for turning your business from “a job you own” into a transferable asset
  • A 12-month lens on what genuinely moves valuation - not vanity metrics or busywork
Most importantly, you’ll leave knowing what to focus on next, and what can safely be ignored.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I bring a partner along?

Absolutely. In fact, we recommend it. Having your partner or co-director in the room means you can make decisions in real time and start your 90-day sprint together. Just select two tickets at checkout.
Why are you offering free tickets?

Simple: we are building a new movement and we want to earn your trust by delivering massive value first. We want the right people in the room and in exchange for the workshop we’ll ask for an honest testimonial if you feel we’ve moved the needle for your business.
Is there going to be a big awkward sales pitch?

No - this isn't one of those 'run to the back of the room' types of events - there is no hype and high-fives. It's all focused on professionals delivering expertise to professionals. 

At the end of the workshop, we will introduce how we support businesses in a pressure-free way for those that it may be a potential fit for.
Where is the Workshop Taking Places?

We are meeting in a private suite at Resorts World Birmingham. It is perfectly positioned for easy access via the M42, and it is just a short walk from Birmingham International station and the airport.
Will Lunch be Provided?

Of course. You’ll be fully catered for with a proper lunch, snacks and high-quality coffee to keep your energy up and your focus sharp throughout the day.
