The pattern we see
Where it usually breaks.
-
01
Owner-dependent
80% of the relationships still route through you. zero buyer wants that.
-
02
Books unfit for DD
you'll spend $80k on a QoE just to prove your numbers are real.
-
03
No standardized SOPs
everything lives in your head. integration risk is buyer-killer #1.

FAQ
Common questions.
When should I start exit prep?
24–36 months before you want to close. earlier is better. exit-readiness is operating hygiene.
Do you broker the sale?
sub-$10M, we run the process. $10M+, we partner with bankers (Houlihan Lokey, William Blair, regional) and stay involved.
What's the exit-readiness score?
a 100-point quantitative score across 5 dimensions: financial health, owner-independence, durable revenue, growth trajectory, ops standardization. updated quarterly.
How much does this cost?
Consulting Retainer + Financial CFO is the minimum stack. Institutional tiers if you're prepping for $10M+.
