What It Means to Be Exit-Ready
Many business owners underestimate what it takes to sell successfully. Our structured Six1 Process ensures you maximize business value long before negotiations begin.
Most Businesses Wait Too Long
Only 20% of businesses that go to market actually sell.
Even EOS-run companies often fail to command full value—because buyers need more than clean ops.
They need proof the business can thrive without you.
That’s where we come in.
We extend your EOS foundation to help you become Exit-Ready: transferable, de-risked, and positioned for a premium valuation—whether you plan to sell now or never.
What It Means to Be Exit-Ready
You could sell tomorrow and command a premium
Your business runs smoothly without you
Your leadership team is empowered
Your systems, financials, and brand are buttoned up
You have leverage—whether you sell or not
Why Most Businesses Fail to Sell
Only 20% of businesses successfully sell because most are not positioned properly.
Your Trusted Team of Experts
M&A Attorney
An M&A (mergers and acquisitions) attorney plays a crucial role when it comes to the merger and acquisition of privately held companies
M&A Advisor
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) advisory firms provide specialized expertise and services that can be invaluable to business owners seeking to sell their privately held businesses.
Financial Advisor
By determining what comes after the sale—whether it's retirement, a new venture, philanthropy, travel, or other pursuits—a financial advisor helps in making the transition smoother and less disorienting.
Certified Public Accountants
A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) plays a critical role in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for privately held companies. The role of the CPA is multifaceted, encompassing financial due diligence, valuation, tax planning, integration planning, and post-acquisition financial management.
Exit Planner / Valuation
Employing a valuation firm before planning an exit ensures that business owners are making informed decisions, maximizing their returns, and facilitating a smoother sale process.
Estate Planning Attorney
An estate planning attorney may not be the primary professional one thinks of in the context of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for privately held companies. However, they can play a significant role, especially when the business owners have significant estate planning concerns.
