Start Planning Your Business Exit Early.
Get Maximum Value and Build the Life You Want
"Every exit is an entry somewhere else"
Get an experienced CFO or FD onboard to build your business exit strategy and create a company exit plan – while you are still growing your business. When you build the right systems and processes into your business, you can focus on growth and you’ll be ready to seize the right exit opportunity when it comes along. Choose a CFO who can work part-time – remotely or at your premises – to help you increase cash, profit, and valuation, freeing you from the burden of day-to-day operations.
Exit planning for your business is just one of the 12 building blocks of a world class finance function.

Defining what you really want
Many business owners simply don’t know what they really want or need from an exit. A cash sum? A plan for what to do afterwards? The clearer you can be about your exit goals, the more likely you will be to achieve them. -
Deciding the type of exit
What’s going to work best for you? A sale to your management team or to a private buyer? Maybe merge with another business to create a new entity? Acquisition by an existing business; do an IPO (Initial Public Offering) or perhaps liquidate? We’ll make sense of the options. -
Preparing for exit
The earlier you can start preparing for your exit the better. In fact, even if you are not ready yet, the time to start your preparations is now. -
Making the business saleable
You should sell exactly the kind of business you’d want to buy. That means making documented processes, polished accounts and clearly presented management information available to interested parties. -
Making yourself redundant
Your business should be able to run without you. If it can be run and scaled without your input, it will be eminently more attractive to potential buyers and you’ll be able to make a smoother exit. -
Maximising your valuation
The basic exit formula is simple: valuation = profit x multiple. Many businesses looking to exit focus purely on increasing the profit component. We’ll help you ratchet up your multiple as well, extracting the highest possible return from your exit. -
Finding a buyer
Market your business – no buyer, no exit. We can help: with a global network of 750 FDs/CFOs, and having sold over 4,000 businesses (to date), we’ll maximise your chances of selling to the right buyer for the best possible sale price.
