When you’re in the start-up phase of your business the last thing on your mind is the thought of selling your business. But for Antonette Golikidis, founder of Little Innoscents, this is exactly what she had in mind when she started her skincare brand over 15 years ago. 

Knowing that one day her products would grow into something bigger than what she could offer she set out to grow a legacy brand that could continue to make a difference in peoples lives without her.

In this inspiring episode, Antonette shares with us her journey from kitchen start-up to selling her business to an ASX listed company and the strategies she used along the way.
