Sale Readiness.
Most owners don't find out what their business is actually worth to a buyer until they're three weeks into a failed diligence. By then, it's too late to fix the things that changed the price.
The work on this page is a pre-listing diagnostic. We evaluate your business against the criteria buyers and their lenders use when they underwrite an acquisition, and we give you a clear, prioritized list of what to address — by you or by an advisor of your choice — before we take you to market.
What We Actually Do
The Work Behind the Exit
Exit readiness isn't a single event. It's a series of deliberate improvements.
Exit Readiness Assessment
We evaluate your business the way a buyer would. Where's the value? Where's the risk? What needs to change before you go to market?
Know exactly where you stand before making any moves.

Revenue Driver Analysis
Recurring revenue. Customer concentration. Founder dependency. Margin structure. We focus on the levers that actually move valuation.
Operational Transferability
A business that can't run without you isn't a business—it's a job. We help you identify what needs to happen to make your business sellable.
Timeline & Sequencing
Some fixes take six months. Some take three years. We help you prioritize based on when you want to exit and what will move the needle most.

BUILD is optional.
Some founders come to us ready to sell. They don't need BUILD work—they need a process.
Others have work to do first. That's not a problem. It's a plan.
"BUILD and SELL can run together or separately. The goal is the same: an exit that reflects what you've built."

When does BUILD work make sense?
- • Exit is 12+ months away
- • You know there are gaps but not which ones matter
- • The business depends too much on you
- • Revenue is strong but valuation is unclear
- • You want to maximize, not just transact
- • You're ready now and know it
- • A buyer is already at the table
- • Timeline is urgent (health, burnout, market)
- • The business is already well-documented
- • You've been through this before
Let's talk about where you are.
A conversation costs nothing. We'll tell you honestly whether BUILD work makes sense—or whether you're ready now.
