In this episode, Darla and guest Brad Farris dive into the intricacies of preparing to sell your interior design business. They discuss the importance of growth, sustainable operations, and strategic planning—whether you’re considering a sale or simply optimizing your business for retirement. Brad shares his insights on transitioning from daily service delivery, on strategies to enhance business value through increased revenue, profitability, and recurring revenue streams, and on the critical role of establishing early relationships with potential buyers.

Brad is known for helping agency and expert firm owners grow through the $1M — 2M barrier to become thriving $3M — $5M agencies. For over twenty years, Brad has worked alongside agency owners to help them sharpen their focus, raise their prices, and hire better people so that their firms can scale. In his work with hundreds of agency owners, he’s learned that success is driven less by what you do than who you decide to be, and the biggest hurdle to your agency’s growth is between your ears.
