FEMALE FOUNDER LIVE TALK
Is Your Business a Beautiful Trap?
(Session in English)
Most founders build profitable businesses - but many of them can’t run without the founder at the center. What looks successful on the outside can quietly become a “beautiful trap”: a business that depends entirely on you and limits your freedom, flexibility, and future options.
Dr. Vivienne Heyhoe, Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) and Founder of Wellspring Exit Advisors, helps established business owners transform owner-dependent companies into valuable, transferable assets. With a background spanning medicine, JP Morgan Asset & Wealth Management, as well as co-owning and successfully exiting a business herself, Vivienne brings a rare blend of financial rigour and founder empathy.
Her work focuses on creating optionality for founders - whether that means selling, stepping back, transitioning leadership, or continuing to scale with more freedom. The goal: building a business that works for you, not one that traps you.
In this practical and eye-opening session, Vivienne will guide female founders through the key question: Is your business truly sellable - or is it dependent on you?
You’ll gain clarity on what buyers actually look for, how to assess your company’s real value, and how to start building a business that gives you options for the future.
What you’ll learn:
• How to assess whether your business is owner-dependent
• What buyers really look for in a sellable company
• The key value drivers that increase transferability and valuation
• Common structural traps that reduce exit options
• Practical first steps to build a business that creates freedom and optionality
