Stages of Business Maturity

Create A Company

Characteristics of this stage include incorporation, but company still operates much like a sole proprietorship with owner as rainmaker, manager and their name covers the organizational chart. No systems, inadequate financial reporting. There is no business without the owner. Usually un-salable, liquidation candidate or asset pricing.

Create A Business

Characteristics of this stage include a management infrastructure, business processes such as monthly financial and operational reporting, board meetings, and business plans. Owner is still important but there is a business without him or her. Owner’s role is management and leadership development– not first line supervision. Likely exit is internal sale or external sale to synergistic buyer; modest value pricing.

Create Value

Characteristics of this stage include a business that would continue to thrive with a financial buyer, a business that has optimized their industry value drivers, a business that would pass muster with the most comprehensive due diligence. Real intellectual property exists and is transferable. Owner’s role is executive and visionary. Good candidate for M&A activity and third party sale at a premium.

Our proprietary BVAL³^® Engagement will help you determine your stage of business maturity, how this impacts your market value and expands your exit choices. The BVAL³^® process will determine how to develop your business to reach the next stage and maximize the value of your business.

What We Do

We work with business owners to meet their personal, professional, and financial objectives through creating and capturing value in their businesses. Growth in value is not a given -- we ensure clients will capture value by developing a strategy and operational plan.

Value is created in two steps. First, establish the value today. Then prepare and execute a plan to optimize the future value based on the client's exit strategy. Value is then captured through sale, merger or acquisition, through succession or through dissolution via an orderly sale of assets. We serve clients, not faceless corporate entities. We serve the people entrusted with the responsibility for these businesses and the people affected by the decisions that will be made.

No Regrets!

We have actively served business owners
for nearly 40 years.

We can not count the number of times a business owner has shared their deepest business regrets.

We want to ensure our future clients benefit from this hard-earned experience.

I regret that I didn't know the market value of my business until it was too late to do anything about it. It would have been a smart thing to do.

I regret that I never paid any attention to how my business fits into my overall financial and estate plans. What a waste of hard-earned money!

I regret that my husband didn't plan ahead, and now he's gone, and I'm left with this business, and I do not have a clue, and now things are a real mess.

I regret that I didn't get started on an exit plan years ago—I would definitely have had more options, less pain, and I would have maximized my value instead of settling for so little.

I regret that I didn't insist on a partnership agreement now that I want to get out… or buy my partner out.

I regret that I assumed all along that my son would take over the business, and never really evaluated whether he should or could. Now he has moved on.

I regret that I always thought I could sell my business and retire and never stopped to find out how to make it salable and valuable to someone else, and now all I can do is close it, sell it for less than I need, or keep working for 5 to 10 more years.
