The 3 Gates of Readiness

Personal Readiness
Are you emotionally and personally prepared for life after business?
-
Financial Readiness
Are your finances aligned to support your lifestyle post-exit?
-
Business Readiness
Is your company attractive, transferable, and operating without you?
The 4 Capitals of Value

-
Leadership, culture, and talent.
-
Systems, processes, IP, and documented operations.
-
Brand strength, client loyalty, recurring revenue.

Reputation, community, and industry relationships.
