  • Why you should plan to SELL your business NOW! - Exit planning with Vivienne Heyhoe

    Why you should plan to SELL your business NOW! - Exit planning with Vivienne Heyhoe
    Feb 17 2026
    In this episode of Women Who Lead and Sell, Aliya and Kelly talk with Vivienne Heyhoe, exit and succession planner for businesses. Stay tuned to learn WHY you would want to sell you business, why it is important that you think about it NOW rather than later, and how much your business could be worth! Contact Vivienne - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drviv/ https://www.wellspringexit.com/ Most business owners only exit once. It is the biggest financial and personal decision of their lives, yet fewer than 1 in 5 businesses that go to market actually sell, leaving hard-earned value behind. I partner with business owners to change that. My focus is on planning exits that are both successful and sustainable, so you leave your business on your terms, at the value you built and deserve, and with confidence about what comes next. What makes me different is perspective. I am a medical doctor turned entrepreneur, business designer, and financier. Over the past 20 years I have led growth, strategy, and investment across healthcare, technology, and finance, including at JP Morgan Asset & Wealth Management. I have built award-winning ventures, exited a family business myself, and trained in exit planning through the Exit Planning Institute’s CEPA program. I know both the numbers and the emotions behind an owner’s biggest decision. While I work with business owners across sectors, I bring a specialist focus on health and wellness, a field I know deeply as both a clinician and a business leader. Longer term, I am building an acquisition portfolio of sustainable companies that improve lives. Contact me if you'd like help getting your business exit ready.
