As a result, they acquire a massive financial advantage over their competitors and hold one of the keys to advanced value creation and business transition-readiness. Our mission is to provide them with the expertise and support they need to create an exponential increase in the value and strategic performance of their business, and become one of 12 out of 100 companies that are always run as best-in-class and "transition ready". For a business owner, “transition ready” means you have successfully achieved, and can sustain, a constant state of optimal readiness in both your business's value and your personal preparedness, regardless of your time frame for a transfer of ownership. Of course, if you have already decided to transfer the ownership of your business, seeking expert advice and decision support is critical.Typically, 80% or more of an owner's net worth is locked in their business, so managing the growth and transition-readiness of their company's value is just as important as the management of their personally owned investments. By positioning themselves to always be able to harvest the amount needed from both of these values - their personally owned investments, and the transferable value of their business - they will hold the key to achieving and safeguarding their financial independence.Accomplishing this will require a highly disciplined approach and change to the way you run your business. At SVA, we can partner with you and your team to eliminate the risks that are driving down the value of your business, focus on the metrics that really matter, and implement a road map of action steps to outpace your competition and create an exponential increase in the value and performance of your company.
