Taking you to your next adventure

Don't let a lack of planning devalue the business you've worked so hard to build.

Low Valuation: Your business is valued as highly as expected, reflecting missed opportunities to maximise your wealth

Common
Issues

Limited Buyer Interest: Attracting serious buyers is challenging, indicating your business may not be positioned as appealing or ready for sale.

Lengthy Sale Process: The sale process drags on, consuming more time and resources than anticipated, often due to a lack of preparation.

Unforeseen Tax Liabilities: You encounter unexpected tax burdens, reducing your final payout and impacting your financial return.

Owner Dependency: The business relies heavily on you, deterring potential buyers who seek a smooth, independent operation post-sale.

The world of exit planning

For Strategic, High-Value Deals

Selling your business isn’t just about an exchange of ownership—it’s about maximising the value of what you’ve built and ensuring you walk away with the best possible outcome. A strategic exit isn’t about simply finding a buyer; it’s about identifying the right acquirer—one who sees your business as a critical asset that can unlock significant growth in their hands.

For business owners generating between £2M and £20M in revenue, the opportunity to command a premium price comes from positioning your business as a strategic acquisition, not just a financial transaction. This means shifting the focus from historical earnings to the future value your company can create in the hands of the right buyer.

Your Strategic Exit, Your Advantage

✅ Identify the ideal acquirers who gain the most strategic value from your business.
✅ Engineer a business that is attractive, scalable, and easy to integrate.
✅ Maximise your leverage by creating competitive tension in the sale process.
✅ Ensure a smooth transition that protects both your financial future and your legacy.

Whether your goal is to retire, reinvest, or take on your next venture, the key to a successful exit is preparation, positioning, and precision timing.

FAQ

Why do I need an exit planner if I already have a business advisor? Business advisors focus on general growth and management, while exit planners specialize in preparing a business for sale or succession. An exit planner can help maximize the value of your business and ensure a smooth transition, which requires a unique set of skills and strategies beyond day-to-day advising.

How does an exit planner add value to my business before I sell it? Exit planners focus on increasing the business’s attractiveness to buyers by improving financial performance, streamlining operations, and identifying growth opportunities. This comprehensive approach can lead to a higher valuation and better terms, making your business more appealing to buyers or investors.

Can't I handle the sale of my business myself, or with my current team? While you may be able to manage aspects of the sale, exit planners bring specific expertise in navigating the complexities of selling a business. They help identify potential pitfalls, structure the deal, and negotiate terms, ensuring that you maximise value and minimise risks.

What if I am not ready to sell my business right now? Exit planning is about preparing your business for the future, even if you don’t plan to sell immediately. An exit planner helps you build long-term value and establish systems that make your business more resilient, so when the time is right, you’re fully prepared for a successful exit.

How can an exit planner help me secure my legacy and protect my family's future? Exit planners not only focus on the financial aspects of the transition but also consider your personal goals and legacy. They work with you to create a succession plan that aligns with your values and ensures continuity for your family, employees, and stakeholders, preserving what you’ve built for future generations.
