Complete Lifecycle Advisory

You’ll leave a significant amount of money on the table because businesses in just about every sector trade on a multiple of either revenue or profit. And the multiplier itself also increases as the revenue and profit numbers increase. So doubling the size of your business could triple or quadruple your valuation.

You’ll fight an uphill battle in your search for a buyer because most buyers are looking for minimum revenue and / or profit numbers and simply won’t look at a business below their targets. This means the best buyers for your business won’t even engage because the acquisition is just too small for them.

You’ll cause yourself additional stress because experienced buyers look for larger businesses. So you’ll end up working with a first-time buyer who doesn’t know what they’re doing. Every aspect of the deal: diligence, contract negotiations, closing, transition and post-sale support will be more difficult. (And that’s if they actually close, but there’s a strong chance their funding will fall through.)

Your business will be easier to sell because we’ll optimize for an exit. In addition to optimizing your marketing, sales, operation and financials, we’ve identified 10 exit factors that increase the sellability of your business. We’ll help you optimize it all.

Your business will be easier to run because everything that makes it more sellable also makes it better for you. The hidden benefits of optimizing for your exit are: streamlined operations, reduced management overhead & costs, increased revenue & profit, improved team satisfaction and protection from competition.

You’ll get a higher valuation because buyers will find it more attractive. The work we’ll do together to optimize for an exit adds value and attracts more buyers, thus creating more competition and driving the price even higher.
