The Exit-Ready Program scores, values and prepares your business for sale. It looks at it through the eyes of the buyer.
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.
23 questions, scored the way an acquirer would score you. Free, 3 minutes, instant result.
A buyer's-eyes valuation of your business, the discounts an acquirer would apply, and the plan to close the gap.
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 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.
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.
Scored the way an acquirer would score you. You get a mark out of 100, your place on the buyer's multiple ladder, and the two areas costing you the most value.
Indicative earnings multiple for a typical New Zealand or Australian business under $1M EBITDA. Every rung is the difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars at sale.
