Meet with us to explore a potential fit. For many owners, discretion is important, so we provide an NDA to ensure confidentiality.
We will conduct a comprehensive assessment to evaluate the company's overall attractiveness to buyers. This includes analyzing financial performance, operational efficiency, market position, and key value drivers to determine how to maximize business value. A key outcome is that you will clearly understand your company's current value vs potential value and receive a strategic roadmap to enhance value, reduce risks, and ensure a successful exit.
Following the assessment, we help you prioritize key actions to enhance company value, mitigate risks, and align with your personal and financial goals. This includes identifying high-impact improvements, setting a timeline for execution, and coordinating with financial, legal, and operational advisors to ensure a structured and efficient transition strategy.
Our 90-Day Value Acceleration Sprints provide a focused, results-driven approach to implementing key exit planning strategies. Each sprint is designed to address critical business improvements identified in the assessment, ensuring measurable progress toward a higher valuation and a smoother transition.
At the end of the 90-Day Value Acceleration Sprints, the business owner decides whether to continue growing or move forward with an exit. Choosing growth leads to another sprint cycle, further enhancing value and scalability. Opting for an exit transitions the owner into executing their chosen strategy.
Whether a third-party sale, private equity recap, management buyout, ESOP, or family succession—we will provide expert guidance to ensure a profitable, seamless transition aligned with your financial and personal goals
No, you can pause or exit the process at any step and take over execution yourself. Some owners choose to complete the assessment and implement the recommendations on their own, while others go through a few 90-Day Sprints, gain momentum, and decide to continue running their business for several more years. Our process is designed to be flexible and owner-driven, ensuring you have the insights, tools, and strategy needed—whether you exit now, later, or continue growing.
Yes—even if your company is highly profitable, exit planning is still essential. 70% of businesses listed for sale don’t sell, often because they aren’t transferable, not because of profitability. A business can be profitable but not valuable to buyers if it's too dependent on the owner, lacks systems, or has risks. Our process ensures your company is both profitable and sellable, maximizing its market appeal, scalability, and long-term value, whether you plan to exit now or in the future.
Even if you don’t plan to sell for 10–20 years, exit planning ensures your business is always ready to sell—because you never know what the future holds. Unexpected events like the 5 Ds—Death, Disability, Divorce, Distress, or Disagreement—can force an unplanned exit, and without proper preparation, you may find yourself needing to sell but unable to. By focusing on value acceleration now, you build a more profitable, efficient, and transferable business, giving you the freedom to choose when and how you exit—on your terms, not out of necessity.
Yes, even if you plan to pass your business to your children, exit planning is essential to ensure a smooth, successful transition. Many family businesses fail to survive generational transfers due to poor planning, unclear leadership roles, or financial inefficiencies. Our process helps maximize business value, establish a clear succession plan, and prepare the next generation for ownership, reducing risks and ensuring the company thrives long after your transition. Whether selling or passing it down, a well-prepared exit protects your legacy and secures your family's future.
Our methodology is based on the Exit Planning Institute’s Value Acceleration Methodology, a proven framework used by successful business owners across industries. It focuses on increasing business value, reducing risk, and ensuring a smooth transition—whether you plan to sell, pass it on, or continue growing. Businesses that follow this process consistently see higher valuations, improved efficiency, and greater transferability, making them more attractive to buyers or successors. Plus, many owners who implement our 90-day sprints experience renewed growth and profitability, giving them more control over their future.
