Our Exit Value Maximization Process

How we work together to prepare for and plan your exit.

Consultation & Discovery

Before a Formal Engagement Begins

To begin, we both need to understand where your business is today, where you want to take it, and when you want to exit. Then we can discuss how feasible it is to achieve an exit that you want to realize.

▸ Establish Ambitions and Expectations for Exit and Post-Exit
▸ Determine Most Probably Selling Price (MSPS) and Key Influential Factors
▸ Sign Engagement Agreement

Action Plan & Priorities

After a Formal Engagement is Signed

If we agree to move forward together, we will begin by outlining a detailed action plan and establishing priorities based on highest leverage, most feasible, and your exit timeline. This provides the foundation for where our attention will be focused.

▸ Create Action Plan
▸ Establish Roles & Responsibilities
▸ Define Milestones on a Timeline

Implement Improvements & Reassess

After Action Plan Agreed On

There will be projects that we work on for you and with you, or oversee that your team and you handle throughout this process. On a quarterly and annual basis, we will reassess the plans, as well as valuation and timeline to exit, and make adjustments and updates as needed.

▸ Quarterly Progress Reviews
▸ Quarterly Goal Creation
▸ Annual Valuation and Reassessment
▸ Decide on Continued Improvements or Begin Exit
