Maximize the value of your business when you sell
Most business owners, when they decide to sell their business, start by hiring an investment banker.
This may be premature. Investment bankers “maximize the value of the business as it is.”
But you leave a lot of money on the table unless you first “build a better business to sell.”
We have a proprietary 3 step exit process to enable you to maximize the value of your business when you sell:
Build the right go-forward strategy
Present a clear picture of how the company will be much more valuable in five years when the buyers look to sell. We also pick up “low hanging fruit” to increase EBITDA and raise exit valuation.
Assemble the best deal team
Run multiple competitive processes to get you an investment banker, accounting firm and deal lawyer who truly understand why your business is valuable and can communicate that to the market.
Mentor management to outperform in the process
Enable your business to stand out during the sales process, so that buyers decide your company in the one that they have to buy this quarter
We have helped business owners sell their businesses for more than 50% premium versus initial expectations by following this process
Your next step costs nothing…

He later joined McKinsey & Company where he led engagements on multi-billion-dollar M&A due diligence, lean operation improvements, strategic marketing, and ultimately was a leader in the North American Health Care practice and the global Business Building and Growth practice.

Most recently, he has been working with middle market business owners and their CEOs to accelerate growth and run them through successful exit processes.
