THE CHALLENGE
Most Business Owners Wait Too Long
By the time they're ready to sell, it's too late to fix the things that would've gotten them a bigger check — or a deal at all. Or, knock on wood, something happens to them before they reach retirement and the company falls apart, leaving your family with nothing.
-
No Clear Valuation
Most owners don't know what their business is actually worth — and are surprised (usually badly) when they find out.
-
No Succession Plan
No identified internal buyer, no ESOP structure, no transition roadmap — just a vague plan to "figure it out."
-
Too Owner-Dependent
If the business can't run without you, buyers won't pay top dollar. Buyers pay for systems, not a person who's leaving.
-
Unprotected Key People
Your top employees are the value. If they leave post-sale, the deal collapses — or the price gets cut.

Key Personnel Plan
