How We Prepare for Exit Readiness
Your business valuation worth plays a significant role in determining your exit opportunities. I will conduct financial and behavioral assessments and implement strategies to help increase the value of your business.
A Brokers Opinion of Value report will inform you of your business worth if sold to a third party using three different valuation methods. Additionally, my Projections Report creates a 5-10 year financial projection: these assessments of your finances and profitability are keys to developing and implementing a strategy for valuation improvement.
We will also work on optimizing daily operations and employee management by streamlining processes, doubling productivity, and implementing performance plans. Additionally, you will learn retention strategies for top-performing employees by completing my TTI Success Insights® Management-Staff assessment. Whether you pursue an ESOP exit or not, having a skilled team increases the value and competitiveness of your business.
Finally, saving money is a necessity in completing an exit plan. I will implement expense-reduction strategies such as payroll shrinkage, streamlining business processes, and more. We will also take inventory of your assets.
