Exit Audit

Why Start Here?

Like every business owner I’m sure you have this number in your head, the one that you have decided your business is worth.

Unfortunately what you know your business should be worth, what it is worth, and what you will actually get for it, are not necessarily the same number.

The good news is that we still have the power to align these numbers.
We just need a plan, and a little bit of time.

Without knowing the real numbers, you’ll never be able to close the gap.

Our Exit Audit provides a business owner with a baseline understanding of your preparedness to exit the business.

An Exit Audit provides actionable insights related to two questions:

  1. What is my business worth today and why?

  2. If I were to to put my business up for sale, could I actually get a deal done?

An Exit Audit stands distinct from a typical business valuation by:

  • Providing more depth and nuance in the response Question #1.

  • Addressing Question #2, which is beyond the scope of a typical business valuation.

  • You walk away with a tangible path to improving your business.
