Exit Planning: Our Process

12-step system to grow, optimize, and prepare your business for maximum value.

Exit planning is a strategic process aimed at business value optimization, making the business more attractive through increasing value and ultimately preparing for a transition. This transition could involve a sale, generational inheritance, or other exit strategies. It's important to understand that exit planning is not merely about creating value at the point of sale; it extends beyond simply analyzing a static report.  


This process calls on the business owner and their advisory team to align business, personal, and financial goals—known as the Three Legs of the Stool™ approach—to effectively prepare for the transition. The goals of exit planning include:  


- Maximizing the value of the business  

- Ensuring financial and personal preparedness  

- Preparing for the third act of the owner’s life  


Utilizing the Value Builder System can further enhance the exit planning process, ensuring that all aspects are addressed for a successful transition.

  • Personal & Financial Preparedness – Ensure you are ready for the next stage of your life and career.  
  • Franchise Owner Guidance – For franchisees, gain clarity on your franchisor’s resale process.
