One of the main reasons to own a business is to sell it.
Begin with the end in mind
What is your goal for the eventual exit? What multiples are businesses like yours selling for? How much free cashflow would be necessary to justify your desired asking price? What is your business worth today? How do you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be? Are those numbers even feasible in your market given the TAM and competitive landscape? These are just a few questions we can help you answer no matter where you are starting from.
Know where the levers are
Where are the leverage points in your business that can unlock triple digit growth YoY? Where is the low hanging fruit? What tweaks can be made to instantly boost your bottom line with minimal investment? What new offerings or partnerships could fit into your existing customer flow to grow your revenues substantially while making your business an even better experience for clients?…We make it our living to answer these questions for you!
Choose the right partners
Exiting a business is a team sport. When it comes time to sell, you want a broker partner with qualified buyers ready to go, a process that keeps everyone organized and on time, and who will advocate for your best interest in every negotiation as if the business belonged to them! (For our growth partners, we may take an equity position ourselves…So we have skin in the game and a vested interest in your success.)
