Celestus

Celestus is changing the way that owners view exit planning by focusing on de-risking and value creation. We get involved very early in the process - sometimes several years before the actual exit. As soon as a business is out of the start-up phase, it should aim towards achieving peak value. The owner and the business ought to be ready for a potential buyer approach at any time. Whilst strategic buyers often pay the highest prices, they only surface sporadically. As a certified CEPA organisation, we ensure alignment of the owners’ business, financial and personal goals. It is important to have a clear, well-defined vision for life after the business and what the owner wants to achieve personally and professionally. Applying Value Acceleration Methodology to the business, we identify critical areas that require de-risking. A comprehensive plan is created to deal with these issues and to focus on the key value drivers of the business. Our programme of ‘relentless execution’ is implemented through accountable 90-day sprints
