Exit Readiness Assessment

Is your business
ready to sell?

Most owners leave 20–40% of their business's value on the table — not because they didn't build something great, but because they never prepared to exit.

months needed to properly prepare for a successful exit

You've spent years building your business. But when the moment comes to exit — whether through a sale, succession, or acquisition — most owners discover they're unprepared.

Buyers discount unprepared businesses. Deals fall through in due diligence. Owners walk away with far less than their company is worth.

The Exit Readiness Assessment changes that. In one engagement, you'll know exactly where you stand, what your business is worth, and precisely how to maximize your outcome.

Patterns we see across
every assessment.

Four tools to command
your exit.

Everything you need to understand your position, maximize your valuation, and move with confidence.

01 / 04

Proprietary
Scorecard

A comprehensive assessment across 10 critical dimensions — financials, operations, team, market position, customer concentration, legal, systems, transferability, growth trajectory, and owner dependency. You'll know exactly where you stand before any buyer does.

02 / 04

Valuation
Analysis

A detailed valuation of your business using industry-standard methodologies — EBITDA multiples, DCF, and comparable transactions. You'll know your number, the range, and what drives it up or down.

03 / 04

12-Month
Exit Plan

A month-by-month action plan engineered to close your readiness gaps, strengthen your story, and maximize buyer confidence. Every step is sequenced for maximum impact on your valuation and deal certainty.

04 / 04

Private
Strategy Session

A private 60-minute session to walk through your results, answer your questions, and calibrate the plan to your specific goals, timeline, and deal structure preferences. This is where strategy becomes personal.

Simple.
Methodical. Decisive.

The right owners,
at the right moment.

You're 1–3 years from an exit

You're not ready to sell today, but you're serious about being ready when the time comes. This gives you the roadmap to get there on your terms.

You've had inbound acquisition interest

A buyer has reached out and you're not sure if now is the right time or if you're leaving money on the table. This assessment gives you the clarity to decide.

You want to know what your business is worth

You've built significant value but have never had a formal valuation. You want a real number from a rigorous process — not a back-of-napkin estimate.

You're planning for wealth, legacy, or retirement

Your business is likely your largest asset. Understanding its exit value is foundational to every other financial decision you make from here forward.

both sides of the table.
