Exit Planning
What you walk away with is decided years before you sell.
Buyers discount for risk, and the risks that cost you most are the ones that take years to remove. Revenue that walks out the door with the owner. A handful of customers making up most of the revenue. Handshake contracts. Records nobody has reconciled. Structures that create tax friction the day you close.
Exit planning works backwards from a date. We assess how sellable you are today, put a number on what each weakness costs you, and sequence the work. Usually that’s three to five years of it, so the business is ready before you need it to be.
What you get
Less dependent on you
This is the single biggest discount on most owner-run businesses.
Earnings that hold up
Clean, normalised, documented earnings survive a quality-of-earnings review.
Structure sorted early
Tax structure fixed years ahead, while changing it is still cheap.
Concentration reduced
Customer and supplier concentration brought down before a buyer prices it in.
How it works
How ready are you
A straight view of what a buyer will discount, and roughly by how much.
The value gap
The distance between what you’d get today and what you want, broken down line by line.
A multi-year plan
Sequenced work on earnings quality, owner independence, contracts and structure.
Go to market
Prepared, with the diligence pack ready before the first buyer conversation.
Exit Planning
Let's talk about exit planning.
Multi-year preparation to make a business sellable at a decent multiple: earnings quality, how much it depends on you, customer concentration, contracts, records and structure.
