Succession or Sale?
Every business owner will leave their business.
The question is not if you’ll cross the finish line, it’s how.
Are you on track for your ideal finish?
- What would need to be true in order to leave your business today?
- Have you considered all possible exit structures to determine the best outcome for you, your employees, and the business?
- Do you know what your family will need to secure your lifestyle after you retire?
You worked hard to build a successful business. You deserve a successful exit. Let’s create a plan so you can confidently finish well.
Too busy working to retire?
If you are always the solution, your exit is a problem.
It’s easy to get stuck running a business long after you intended. Retirement can become an elusive horizon, a moving finish line as you continue to put in more hours and take on more responsibility.
Are you stuck on the work-hard ownership track?
- How reliant is the company on you personally for growth, solutions, and progress?
- Have you identified a candidate to begin taking over your responsibilities?
- How much time will you need to fully train your successor? What is the training plan?
The work of an owner is never done if the finish line is unclear and there is no one ready to take the baton. We’ll help you create a succession plan that takes you out of the business in the best way, sets the business up for success, and frees you to live the life you want.

Freedom Without Regret
Many business owners find the transition from ownership brings regret in hindsight.
You know how to build and run a successful business, but do you have a clear plan for how to stop working and leave the business? Without a plan, many business owners sell when it is convenient, unsure what is best for them and the company, and forced into terms they end up regretting.
- Price regret: What is your business is currently worth? What is the potential valuation? To avoid sale price regret, we clarify your potential value and create a plan to get there.
- The handoff regret: Have you established a plan for your employees and successor to ensure a smooth transition and continued success after you leave?
- The life-after-leaving regret: Have you identified your new purpose and personal goals after you exit the business?
We’ll create a plan that helps provide confidence that you’ll be able to look back at your exit without regret and can live a life you love.
