How far in advance should I plan my exit?

Ideally 2-3 years before your target exit date. This gives time to optimize financials, strengthen recurring revenue, reduce owner dependency, and address any issues that would reduce valuation. Even 12 months of focused preparation can significantly improve outcomes.

How do you value a business?

We use multiple methodologies, comparable transactions, discounted cash flow, and asset-based approaches. The right method depends on your industry, size, and growth profile. We present a range and identify the specific levers that can move your valuation higher.

Can you help with internal succession (selling to a partner or family)?

Yes. Internal transitions have unique challenges, fair pricing between parties, financing the buyout, tax implications for both sides, and leadership transition planning. We've guided numerous family and partner transitions successfully.

Do you work with M&A brokers or investment bankers?

We complement, not replace, M&A advisors. We prepare your financials to be broker-ready, coordinate with your legal team, and support the financial narrative supports maximum valuation. If you don't have a broker, we can recommend trusted professionals.
