Value Creation

Building Value on Your Way to the Top

Value creation is a critical step, no matter when you plan to transition out of the business.

There are five distinct value enhancement classifications within your 2% Exit Plan. Together, these help leverage your exit, so you get peace of mind about your transition and retirement.

Business Value Enhancement

  • Identify, measure and implement value enhancements for your business within 18 value creation categories involving over 200 components and sub-components of interrelated value drivers.
  • These value drivers cover all aspects of your business including: operations, financials, investments, sales, marketing, and business intangibles.
  • Your business is valued and scored. The result uncovers the gap between your current value and your enterprise (or potential) value.
  • Each value driver is measured and benchmarked to reveal deficiencies and quantify any gaps. Suggested tasks help improve your stability and performance… and ultimately, potential business value.

Tax

Implement strategies:

  • Business Tax
  • Individual Tax
  • Estate Tax

Strategic Timing

  • Evaluate the markets, industry, and economy as well as credit and deal-making activity for your optimal exit.
  • Manage and oversee the value creation steps so enhancements are implemented on schedule.
  • Business and personal change – recognize and reevaluate the impact of your readiness, both mental and personal, on the exit plan.

Market Readiness Planning

  • Pre-sale due diligence for sale or succession.
  • Open and/or confidential communication plans to management and employees.
  • Select list of optimal buyers.

Personal
