See Their StoryResults Management Group works with owners and management teams 1-3 years before the big day to create additional value and plan for what comes after the sale.
Whether you are actively preparing to sell the company or thinking about the medium term and wanting to be ready if the opportunity arises, we have a successful track record of refocusing the executive team and the whole company on value creation. We assist owners in playing an active role in the last push or setting up a leadership team to lead with less owner involvement. This approach minimizes owners’ risk of being stuck in an undesirable employment situation after the sale, making the big day more satisfying and freeing.
Owners can find themselves in many situations when considering a sale.
You haven’t quite created the company you have been dreaming of, and you want to give it one more push before starting the sales process.
You’d love to sell now, but the company isn’t quite ready, you wouldn’t get the price you want, or owners are too much a part of operations, and you don’t want to get stuck working for someone else and a long tail after the sale.
Sometimes, selling now isn’t prudent because the current realistic price is low because the management team isn’t self-led or performing at its best. Our executive team alignment process [hyperlink] consistently leads management teams and companies to greater clarity, ambition, performance, and ability to execute, resulting in dramatic growth or a sale.
Some clients considering a sale have been so inspired by their company’s new potential that they dig in for a bit longer to give it one last push before selling; others step back from operations while empowering the team, and some move on quickly to a better sale.
In a family business, often, the goal is to pass the company on to future generations. But what do you do if the next generation isn’t ready or interested? We’ll work with you to make the best choice and partner with you in the planning or development to do what’s best for your family.
I have also seen CEOs with a company worth more than they need to retire, and if they knew what they’d do next, they’d sell in a heartbeat. But selling and stepping into the big unknown can be terrifying. By making an exciting and meaningful plan for what is to come next, you can be free to make the best decision for you and your family without the overwhelming burden of an uncertain future. Be excited to enter your next chapter with clarity, passion, and enthusiasm.
