Because Value Is Won or Lost Before You Ever Sell

Most business owners believe the hardest part of selling their company is finding a buyer.
In reality, the biggest risk is entering the market unprepared.

Buyers don’t overpay for businesses.
They discount risk.

Without expert guidance, owners often:

  • Discover problems during due diligence—when leverage is gone

  • Accept lower valuations to “keep the deal alive”

  • Agree to unfavorable terms to offset uncertainty

  • Lose momentum, credibility, or buyers altogether

By the time issues surface, it’s usually too late to fix them.

  • Because the most expensive mistakes happen before a business goes to market. Preparation impacts valuation, terms, and certainty. Engaging early allows you to fix issues on your timeline—before buyers discover them and use them as leverage.

  • You can—but brokers are typically focused on marketing and closing, not value creation. By the time a broker is involved, your leverage is already set. We help ensure the business is positioned to command premium value before it’s marketed.

  • That’s often the best time to start. Our process is designed to create optionality—whether you sell, hold, or prepare for the future. Understanding readiness and value gives you control, not obligation.

  • Ideally 12–36 months before a sale. That window allows time to improve value drivers, reduce risk, and strengthen positioning. However, even shorter timelines benefit from focused preparation and disciplined execution.

  • Yes. Buyers price risk. When financials are clean, operations are documented, and the value story is clear, buyers compete—and competition drives price and better terms. Preparation directly impacts multiples, structure, and certainty.

  • Common value killers include:

    • Inconsistent or unclear financials

    • Owner dependency

    • Customer concentration

    • Weak documentation or systems

    • Unclear growth story

    We identify and address these issues before they cost you money.

  • No. We focus on fundamentals that buyers care about across industries: cash flow quality, risk, scalability, and clarity. Industry specifics matter—but preparation principles are universal.

  • We are advisors first. Our focus is on preparation, positioning, and process discipline—not just getting a deal done. When we do engage in execution, it’s with the foundation already in place to protect value.

  • We follow a disciplined framework:

    1. Analysis

    2. Plan

    3. Strengthen

    4. Market

    5. Close the deal

    Each step builds leverage for the next.

  • Yes. All conversations, reviews, and planning are confidential. We operate with discretion and control information flow at every stage.

  • To get started with the Value Prep Process, we begin with a free valuation and analysis.
    It provides clarity on where your business stands, what buyers will focus on, and what actions will most impact value—before any commitment to sell.
