Our 4-Step Path to Growth & Exit
1. We think like a buyer not an owner ™
Our experience provides an objective, buyer’s perspective to identify opportunities and overcome obstacles, improving operations, financial performance, and market value. Whether preparing for a sale or scaling growth, our analysis acts as a dress rehearsal to maximize results. By fixing weaknesses and accentuating strengths, we increase cash flow and position your business for long-term success regardless of whether you have a transaction in mind.
2. We calibrate risk to fully activate growth
We customize growth strategies to match your company’s core competencies and resources, and your risk appetite. By balancing expected returns of different Growth Plan alternatives with respective execution risk, we deliver the optimal Growth Plan that meets your objectives.
3. Expert guidance through every strategic choice
We align your personal goals and risk tolerance with realistic growth alternatives and exit strategies. From selling control, raising minority equity, recapitalizations and preparing for an IPO, to succession planning or potential business model changes, we help owners navigate every strategic alternative. We analyze the pros and cons of each alternative and guide you through the selection process to the optimal outcome.
4. We maximize your company's market value
We focus on improvements in ^EBITDA, margins, decision-making, and competitive positioning that drive market value. While we let the results of our diagnosis dictate the majority of our recommendation, we follow an important guideline: All revenue is not created equal™. We identify, reduce, or eliminate the "worst" revenue and double down on the "best" revenue to improve financial performance. Our strategies increase revenue and profitability while enhancing employee morale and owner satisfaction.
