You’re Tired, But the Business Still Looks Good - Personal Freedom
You may not have the drive to lead your company into its next growth phase.
2025 could be the ideal window to exit while performance is strong, leaving on top before momentum dips.
Selling could give you the financial security and flexibility to pursue new ventures, retirement, or passions.
We will make sense of all of these factors, providing you with innovative strategies to sell for max value with the least amount of hassle!
1. Get a Business Valuation: Understand what your business is truly worth today
2. Prepare the Business for Sale: Strengthen operations, financials, and team structure to make your business more attractive and less dependent on you.
3. Align Personal, Financial & Business Goals: Clarify your post-sale lifestyle, retirement income needs, and exit timing
4. Go to Market & Find the Right Buyer
5. Close the Deal & Transition Smoothly: Structure a win-win exit plan—then guide the handoff to ensure legacy and continuity.
Business sales tend to fall apart during the Due Diligence phase of the sale.
A good way to avoid this issue is to have your books in order, SOPs created, strategic operations streamlined and team structure in place.
The BIGGEST and BEST thing you can do... Have your books clean and ready to be reviewed by a buyer's financial team!
Once we get that great offer for your business, it is time to show off the financials, operations, products and/or services your company has to offer! Let's make sure that everything is in place to get a max value offer so we can close the deal!
The average business sale takes 6 to 12 months, but this can vary based on your industry, the business’s financials, deal complexity, and buyer readiness.
Preparation makes a huge difference. Businesses that are well-prepared—clean books, transferable systems, documented processes, and reduced owner dependence—typically sell faster and for more money.
We guide you through pre-sale prep to streamline the process and reduce time on market.
A business is worth what someone is willing to pay and what it's ready to support in terms of cash flow, risk, and growth. We perform a comprehensive valuation based on earnings (like SDE or EBITDA), industry benchmarks, intangible capital (customer loyalty, brand, team, systems), and market demand.
If your business isn’t yet where it needs to be, we’ll help you build value before listing—so you don’t leave money on the table.
Not at first. Confidentiality is key during the early stages of a sale. Premature announcements can cause anxiety among staff or customers and may disrupt operations.
We help you structure the process to protect confidentiality while preparing internal systems for a seamless transition once a buyer is secured.
When the time is right, we also guide you through communication planning for employees, customers, and vendors.
It depends on the buyer and deal structure.
Some buyers want you involved short-term to help with transition and training (commonly 3 to 12 months), while others—especially strategic or experienced buyers—prefer you to step away quickly.
The good news? With the right preparation, you’ll have options.
We help you build a business that can run without you, giving you the freedom to negotiate your ideal exit timeline.
