Selling Your Business is now available on Audible!

Selling Your Business: What you need to know before, during and after your sale draws on James more than 20 years of experience advising business owners on buying, selling and valuing businesses. He is a Corporate Transactions partner at local, independent accountancy and business advisory firm Larking Gowen.

Originally published in paperback in 2025, it’s designed to help business owners understand what to expect from the sale process and what they can do to prepare for one of the biggest decisions they’re likely to make.

Boosted by the success of the paperback, James recorded the audiobook which is now available on Audible, and means you can access that advice on the go, whether you’re walking the dog, at the gym, on the commute!

The book also draws on real-life experience from James’ career advising hundreds of business owners on corporate transactions. James said “Business owners invest years of their lives in building their businesses, so when the time comes to sell, they need to feel confident they’re making the right decisions.

“The book was written to provide straightforward, practical guidance based on the questions and situations I’ve come across throughout my career. Making it available as an audiobook means people can now access that guidance in whichever way works best for them.”

The book was recorded at Punch Studios, an Ipswich based production house. Working with their team aligned with Larking Gowens commitment to supporting local businesses in their community. While the audiobook has strong local roots, its message will resonate with business owners much more widely.

Selling a business is rarely a decision made lightly. For many owners, it represents the result of years of hard work and commitment.

Across a series of bite-sized chapters, James looks at the questions business owners commonly face before, during and after a sale. Topics include understanding the value of your business, preparing it for sale and considering different routes, including trade sales, management buy-outs and Employee Ownership Trusts.

If you’re thinking about selling your business, whether that’s soon or several years from now, early planning can make a real difference. The Larking Gowen Corporate Transactions team can help you understand your options, prepare your business for sale and guide you through the process.
