What is Exit and Sale Readiness Planning?

  • Exit and Sale Readiness planning is about preparing businesses and owners for the transfer of a business at the highest possible value, regardless of whether a sale is near-term, or years into the future. 
  • It is about building and maintaining sustainable and transferable businesses, so that owners can sell or transfer ownership on their terms and timetable. 

Exit and Sale Readiness Planning Includes:

  • An objective assessment on the company’s value.
  • Understanding of, and focus on, what drives value in the business, and how well the company is performing in those areas.
  • Analysis of the company’s readiness to be transferred to a new owner, considering all major functions of the business: sales, talent acquisition and development, strategy and vision, financial management, and customer satisfaction.
  • Assessment of the alignment of a company’s strategic processes, its people processes, and its operational processes, in short, its ability to execute. 
  • Preparation of an executable plan to accomplish meaningful improvements in the business, based on what is learned from analysis and assessment. 
  • A managed process of making business process improvements, with measurements and accountability, designed to produce results and produce the most saleable company possible. 
  • Cleaning up accounting, documentation, corporate governance, tax, and internal control loose ends which may impact a potential buyer’s assessment of the business and its value. 
  • Education for the owners about the sales process, and what buyer’s will be looking at in accessing a business and its value.
  • Guiding and coaching business owners to take steps that enhance the company’s value to potential buyers.
  • Focus on the owners’ personal wealth and estate planning situation, to assure that pre-sale planning to maximize after-tax return is undertaken.

Consideration of structural alternatives for a sale or merger transaction to maximize after-tax results for both selling owners and potential buyers.
