At Inflow we work with founders who operate companies with revenues between $2M and $20M. Helping them get clarity on the exact steps they need to take NOW to create the OPTION to exit their business in the future.Empowering them with a well designed financial system that tracks the growth and value of the business as they go.Most owners do not get the opportunity to sell their business. If things don't work out, they will simply close their doors. Or if they do attempt to sell they actually never close the transaction.Some believe when they’re ready to exit, a buyer will be there, and jump at the chance to acquirer their amazing business.In our experience the opposite is true.The stats are not great. Only 20% of companies who attempt to sell their business actually create an exit. And the ones who do, often leave serious dollars on the table.Which can only mean this. Most founders don’t have a process to create the option to exit, and more, they don’t know all the steps to transact for maximum value.There are better alternatives out there, but you have to be willing to do things differently and go after the opportunity as early as you can.Doing this early may seem unnatural, but it gives you the time and space you need to optimize value and develop your business from two sides. Earnings and assets - (what the business contributes to you) and then match this to what buyers find attractive.This creates both transferable and transaction value.Our recommendation is simple.Preparation is everything. Start early, know the key factors driving your valuation and engage potential acquirers well before you’re ready to exit.Learn more about our Valuation Playbook, freemium valuation tools, exit value assessments and M&A advisory services by visiting our website below.
