    Prepare to Finish Big

    Business transition is the largest personal and organization change most entrepreneurs face.

    75% of owners who don't prepare themselves and the company well - for a family hand off, or ESOP, internal buy out, or strategic sale - are unhappy in a year or less. It's a bell you can't unring.

    Many owners wait too long. Plan on one year of preparation for each decade of operation.

    Getting ready cuts risk, increases company value. You can operate, scale, or transition opportunistically. We help you plan, get transition-ready, optimize secure futures, peace of mind - whether selling or not
