The Biggest Decision Of My Entrepreneurial Journey - To Sell Or Not To Sell | Edin Basic

EPISODE 60: THIS WEEK'S GUEST - EDIN BASIC
In this episode, Edin talks about:

The importance of understanding market trends to know when to invest and when to sell
Understanding your exit strategy to make the right decisions while you're building your business, and;
How to be ready when your ideal buyer comes knocking

GUEST BIO:
Edin Basic began his journey as a refugee from war torn Bosnia, leaving school before completing his final exams to escape to London with no money in his pocket (and not able to yet speak English).

After years of searching, surviving and gaining different experiences in the restaurant industry, Edin's entrepreneurial mindset led him to start his own company, Firezza. Along the way he raised money from VC funds and angel investors, scaled up his business to 17 locations, and eventually sold to his largest competitor, Pizza Express.

Since then, Edin is a headline speaker across Europe, hospitality consultancy, has started multiple food & beverage concepts in the UK and abroad, and supports founders on their journey with his own "been there done that" experience.
