If You Are a Small Business Owner, You're in the Right Place

Someday Could Well Be Tomorrow

• Why you need to be prepared

• Why does anyone own a business? 
  
  • Generate profit to support a satisfying lifestyle now
  • Contribute to your many communities: customers, local community and employees
  • Build a valuable asset that, when you decide to exit, will add significantly to your capital resources
• You may be very satisfied with your current profitability. You're probably working very hard, much too hard to have time to "waste" on paperwork exercises planning your eventual exit from your business. That will be many years off, and you can get to the planning part someday when it is more timely. WRONG! WRONG! 
• If this describes your reality, that's OK. You're not alone. Most small business owners feel that way. And most will regret it.

• The reality is that 87% of owners cannot sell their small businesses. For most of them, it is because they are unprepared.  What's so sad is that they could easily have been among the 13% who do sell, and even among the 6% who get a satisfactorry price that rewards their years of hard work. All they had to do was take simple, inexpensive actions that would make their company attractive to buyers. Now they are in a position of having to sell, and it is too late to take those actions.  
• Don't wait for someday to come looking for you, and being unprepared when it finds you. You never know when someday will come. Illness, family issues, economic circumstances or even opportubities to good to pass up ... they all arrive without invitations.

• How can you be prepared when the time comes?

• The Business Value Booster Method (SM) builds on the the experiences of hundreds of businesses like yours to provide a guaranteed increase in the long-term value of your company. 
  
  
  • Understand what drives business value and selling price, so you can focus your efforts on what matters
  • Clear away obstacles that make it impossible to sell, even if your business is very profitable
  • Give buyers confidence that your business is stable and low-risk by upgrade the right business processes and practices
  • Avoid large investments of time and money into frameworks and transformations that aren't right for your business
  • Improve your cash flow now, enjoy it, and be positioed to sell when the time comes.

  If you don't know about the Method yet, get an overview by providing your name and email in the form on this page to get the report below AND we'll send you a link to get a quick assessment of your business' readiness for the market - just in case someday arrives tomorrow.

• If you already know about it and signed up to get some help making sure you implement it, use the menu at the top of the page to sign in and pick up where you left off.

• But I don't have time

• The Business Value Booster Method was designed for busy small business owners. You'll take actions in bite-sized chunks, and only actions that are relevant to your business.

• Here's the thing. The single most important factor in the value of your business is how much profit it makes. Increasing profits benefits you now and continues to do so until you do sell. The better you make your business now, the more it will pay you now and going forward. Why wouldn't you want to do that?
• Because you're too busy already. 
• The central theme of the Business Value Booster Method is that you will drive towards a simple goal: taking a 4-week vacation almost totally unlinked from the business. If you can do that, most buyers will agree that it is a low-risk investment for which they would be e willing to pay almost anything (but, because we understand small business financials, you will get it for a most reasonable fee backed up by a success-based guarantee).
• You're busy. On your own, you may not get around to it before someday comes. We're here to help.

Who Has This Worked For?

The Business Value Booster Method applies to most businesses, but is specifically designed for the "Main Street" business, which has revenue between %500,000 and $5 million annually. It is built on the experiences of

20+ years of advising companies big and small on how to define themselves, lay out 5-year plans to guide their businesses, and improve their services, proeesses and cost structures, saving them millions of dollars 10+ years as a small business owner Observing hundreds of seller transactions as an advisor with the nation's larger business brokerage Reviewing dozens of books and training packages from the leading business advisory and brokerage authors (and finding that they left a gap for Main Street businesses)

These logos represent some of the customers who have benefited from  business consulting. Because of confidentiality agreements, we can’t show you the dozens of companies we've helped in buy-sell transactions.  Every one of them presented a new twist but in the end, the principal factors were the same across the board. Working with buyers as well as sellers gives one a better view of what they are looking for - and it may not be what you think.

We've also been honored to be asked to provide keynote addresses and training workshops at several prestigious venues and our founders are frequent guests on meidda channels inlcuding metwork TV, professional webinars and industry podcasts. So, yes, we know how to do many of the things you’ll want to do to make your business more profitable now and sell for a higher value when the time comes. We've walked the mile in your shoes and made all the mistakes, so you don't have to!
