How to Prepare Your Business for Exit.
The best exit outcomes are engineered 2-3 years before the transaction. The businesses that command the highest multiples are not the ones with the most revenue – they are the ones with the best systems, the most predictable cash flow, and the lowest owner dependency.
24 months. Maximum value.
Every year you wait to start exit preparation is a year of value left unrealized. The businesses that sell for 5-8x EBITDA instead of 2-3x spent 24-36 months engineering the conditions that command premium multiples – predictable revenue, documented systems, clean financials, and zero key-person risk.
The Exit Readiness System
- 3-year financial history cleaned, reconciled, and buyer-ready
- EBITDA normalization and add-back documentation
- Owner salary adjustment and compensation benchmarking
- Customer concentration analysis and diversification
- Key employee retention structures and documentation
- Full operational documentation – every system, every process
The time to prepare for exit is before you’re ready to exit.
Whether your exit is 2 years away or 10, the systems we build compound in value until that day arrives.
