Notice where you are the bottleneck
For two weeks, write down every decision that waits for you and every customer who only calls you. That list is your plan.
Hand over relationships
Introduce a manager to key customers and suppliers now, while you are still there to support them.
Write down how things are done
Simple checklists for quoting, ordering, invoicing and hiring. They do not need to be perfect, just usable by someone else.
Take a real holiday
Two weeks away with little contact is the best test. Whatever breaks shows you what to fix next.
Put it into practice
General guidance only, not legal, tax or financial advice.
