Exit planning, years before the deal.
We architect the exit you actually want, then build it with you. Here's what that looks like, step by step.
The Eight Questions behind every Designed Exit.
Owners usually come to us in one of three moments.
1.
"A trusted advisor asked me what my exit plan is, and I didn't have one."
2.
"I got an offer, and realized I don't know what I'd do the day after."
3.
"The business is growing, but it still runs through me."
They all start in the same place.
Before anything gets built, you answer eight questions. Four are about your life. Three are about the business. The eighth connects them together.
1. Personal Goals — Your life vision, the number that funds it, your timeline, and which of the eight exit paths actually fits.
2. Business Assessment — What the business is worth today, whether it's operating best-in-class, and whether it would survive diligence under contract.
3. The Path Forward — Whether your growth strategy is bridging you to the exit you want, or just building a bigger business.
Then we build it with you.
Four phases, over years — not a plan we hand you and leave.
Identify — Define the destination. What the business is worth today, what you need it to be worth, and what you actually want on the other side.
Protect — Secure what you've already built. Contingency, contracts and key people, so a forced exit doesn't become the exit.
Build — Close the gap. Grow enterprise value and reduce the business's dependency on you, in 90-day increments.
Transition — Execute the handoff. Run the process, hold the terms, and land the personal side of it, not just the deal.
