Bought on a thesis. Built on a plan.

Sound familiar

## The deal closed. Now the real work starts.

“The founder took half the relationships with them.”

“I’m carrying debt, and the plan has to work.”

“I know where I want to go. The team isn’t there yet.”

What changes

## The value you paid for, and the value you can build.

01

A baseline you can trust

Your number today, measured the way your next buyer will measure it, so you know what you actually own.

02

Transition, finished

Relationships, know-how and decisions move from the prior owner to your team and systems, where they hold their value.

03

Your next exit, planned

Hold it, recap it or sell it. Know the moves that raise the multiple on the way out.
