Online Workshop - Join From Any Location

A Focused Educational Workshop for Small and Mid-Sized Business Owners

What You Will Learn

Why do most businesses sell for less than they could? Because the exit process is usually unplanned, forcing owners to react under pressure. This workshop shifts your mindset from being "ready to sell eventually" to being "Always Ready," ensuring you capture maximum value when the opportunity arises—whether planned or unexpected.

Led by Scott Young, CPA, CM&AA, a veteran Fractional CFO and Certified Value Growth Advisor (CVGA), this small-group session provides a clear, actionable roadmap to de-risk your business and maximize its ultimate valuation.

You will learn:

  • The Buyer's Perspective: How potential acquirers analyze risk and why unpreparedness leads directly to valuation discounts.

  • The Core Value Drivers: We will discuss the critical areas buyers scrutinize during due diligence:

  • Planning & Strategy: Building a clear financial roadmap for sustainable, long-term growth.

  • Leadership & Team: Transitioning your company away from founder-dependent day-to-day operations.

  • Sales & Marketing Systems: Creating predictable, scalable, and institutionalized revenue streams.

  • Finance & Internal Controls: Establishing clean, auditable, and transparent financial tracking.

  • Legal & IP Compliance: Protecting your intellectual property, contracts, and corporate structure.

  • Technology & Data Integrity: Ensuring robust, secure, and modern software infrastructure.

  • Human Resources & Talent Retention: Securing and incentivizing key personnel before a transition.

  • Actionable Steps: Walk away with a checklist to begin transforming your company from a founder-dependent operation into a highly sustainable and scalable asset.
