How it works

From gut feel to investor-grade

Most owners find out what their business is worth when a broker tells them. The Exit-Ready Program starts that conversation a year or two early, while every discount is still fixable.

Score it

23 questions, scored the way an acquirer would score you. Free, 3 minutes, instant result.

Value it

A buyer's-eyes valuation of your business, the discounts an acquirer would apply, and the plan to close the gap.

Build it

A one-to-two-year program, working one-on-one with me, that lifts you at least one full turn up the multiple ladder before you go anywhere near the market.

The Exit-Ready Program

A year or two of building. One more turn on your multiple.

The Exit-Ready Program starts with a valuation of your business through a buyer's eyes. Everything after that is pointed at one goal: lifting your multiple by at least one full turn. On $1m of normalised earnings, that single turn is another $1m of sale price.

You work one-on-one with me the whole way, and I only take on five clients at a time. Most owners run the program over one to two years; how long depends on your business and how far you want to push the number.

It's built for business owners in New Zealand and Australia, with an established business worth between $3m–$10m. That's big enough that the value gap is real money, and focused enough that a year or two can move it.

Every month
  • A board-quality report on the numbers that move your valuation
  • A rolling 12-month cashflow forecast, kept current
  • A working session with me on the decisions in front of you
  • Clear actions for the month, each tied to lifting your score
Every quarter
  • An updated valuation: what it's worth now, and what moves it next
  • A fresh read on where you sit on the buyer's multiple ladder
  • Priorities reset for the quarter: the two or three moves worth the most
Every year
  • A full Exit-Ready re-score and value-gap review
  • Progress against your sale target, and an honest call on timing
  • Deeper work on the big levers: owner-dependence, diligence-ready financials, and the growth story a buyer will pay for
  • When you're ready to sell, hands-on support through the deal itself

One to two years, shaped around you and your goals, with one target throughout: at least one more turn on your multiple. Start with the score below.
