From selling clothing at Grand Beach to building an international apparel business, Ash Modha, Co-Founder & CEO of Mondetta Clothing, has spent four decades navigating growth, reinvention and some remarkable ownership decisions, including selling a majority stake and eventually buying it back.

Building a business to sell doesn't mean you have to sell it. It means creating a company with strong leadership, credible financials and enough independence from its owner to give you choices when opportunities arise.

For many owners, selling the business is tomorrow’s problem. The trouble is that leadership, financial discipline, customer relationships and owner independence can’t be built overnight.
