The ultimate test of your business’ success can be found in a simple question: Would someone want to buy your company? And if so, why?
The foundation of a company fit for sale may not match what you have built to date. And the way that you are running your company may not have enough space between you and its daily operations to prep it for sale.
So, is it really time to sell your company… or would you be better served by building value for a future sale date at a higher price?
We can help you make clear decisions. And we can guide you through different avenues by which you will optimize your company’s value, including:
● Focusing on Profitability
● Maximizing Your Marketing Efforts
● Organizing your Daily Operations
● Managing Cash Flow
● Create a business that can run without you.
We get pretty excited about value-building here at At the Helm. Not only do we see it as a win-win for everyone involved, but we know that the slight shift in how you look at running a business will serve both your future and your career as a business owner indefinitely.
Are you curious about how your business stacks up against others in your industry, and where exactly you should be concentrating your efforts? Why not spend 13 minutes and complete a Value Builder Assessment. We will create a 30 page comprehensive report for you that shows exactly where you are today, and some recommendations on how to improve.
At some stage, every owner will need to transition out of their business. Whether this be through a sale to a third party, a buy out by your employees, or passing the business down to the next generation, there are many factors, both practical and personal, that go into this process. Studies show that one year after the sale, up to 75% of business owners regret selling.
To help ensure that you have an exit with no regrets, we have created the Personal Readiness to Exit questionnaire (PRE Score™). Take just a few minutes to answer the questions and we will create a report for you that uncovers some of the important issues that could be standing in your way, and we will also send you a copy of The Exit Checklist eBook, a five step action plan for a happy and lucrative exit.
Understanding the right time to sell is more important than ever during today’s ever-changing financial landscape. While you may feel that it’s time to move on, the truth may just be that it’s time to hold tight and build value for your business. Questions? Contact info@atthehelm.ca.
