Build Value, Scale Fast, Maximize Exit
Using a proven pathway to empower businesses to build value
and achieve a seamless exit
For owners
Some 80% of businesses coming to market don’t sell. To exit, the owners have to run them down. We believe your life’s work is worth more than this and there is a way to exit a viable business with value.
For Expansion
It is natural for a business to reach plateaus. Many of them never get past a certain point, lacking particular skills or resources to get to the next level. With the right skills and collaborators you can move past this.
For Buyers
Buyers often saddle their acquisition with unsupportable levels of debt. A good transaction should set the business up for success, not failure. A smart transaction should benefit both seller and buyer.

Two bites at the Apple
Most SMEs are set up to operate, but not to exit. It means that an exit for you now, is unlikely to achieve the valuation you’d like.
You need to be purposeful about getting ready.
Together our group goes on a journey to take our members from where they are now, to the valution each of them would like.
The second bite of the apple is the one that sets up your future.

How much is my business worth?
If you’d like to start building a strategy for a successful exit, a good first step is a business valuation. While the market eventually sets the value, its important to have a starting point and it helps identify changes that can be made to increase the business value. If you’d be interested in runinng through some valuation questions and creating a roadmap to improve it, please let us know.
