Still have questions?
Your common questions, our straightforward answers.
Do I really need an Exit plan for my business?
Yes, absolutely. We have done enough buy-side deals and seen how many sellers leave money on the table because their business wasn't properly prepared for sale. Great succession planning ensures that your business is ready to sell with clear financial records that make buyers willing to pay a higher valuation.
How far in advance should I start preparing my business for sale?
Value is built before the exit, not during it. That's why we recommend contacting us at least 180 days before you plan to sell your business.
When should I reach out to you?
We’re available to talk at any point during your business search journey. Ideally, you should reach out to us when you’re close to submitting the Letter of Intent (LOI) on a deal.
How is your exit planning process different from others?
We consistently work on the buy-side of deals and know what factors of the deal are crucial for buyers. We bring that knowledge to our exit planning services and optimize your business for metrics that ensure the highest price.
How long does the exit planning process typically take?
The duration varies depending on the size & complexity of the business. On average, our process takes 2-4 months for businesses with solid bookkeeping. We need time to normalize financial statements, implement tax planning strategies, and prepare a sell side due diligence report that involves:
Identifying and validating add-backs ahead of buyer scrutiny
Showcasing your company's strong financial trends and metrics
Addressing potential concerns ahead of buyer review
Expediting the closing process through proactive preparation
This comprehensive preparation positions your business to justify a higher valuation.
