FAQ
Common questions
Who do you work with?
Owners of established trades, manufacturing, distribution and industrial services companies with roughly $2M to $10M in annual revenue and one to three owners. Clients are across the Pacific Northwest, including Washington and Oregon, and Western Canada, including British Columbia and Alberta.
Where should I start: profit or exit planning?
Usually with profit. Profit is what you live on today, and because businesses are typically valued as a multiple of earnings, it is also what future buyers pay for tomorrow. Many owners work on both at once.
Do I have to be planning to sell?
No. The same work that makes a business sellable also makes it more profitable and less demanding of your time. You get your evenings and weekends back now, and keep the option to sell whenever you choose.
What happens on a Discovery Call?
It is a conversation about where your business is today and where you want it to go. Together we decide whether a next step, usually a profit and value assessment, makes sense for you.
