Our Process

1. Start the conversation

The first step is a no-pressure conversation to understand your goals for both the sale of your business and your retirement. We’ll talk through your business’s history, current operations, and your desired timeline for stepping away. This is also your chance to ask questions about the process. Our aim is to get a clear picture of what success looks like for you, so we can create a plan that’s aligned with your vision. Everything is confidential, with no obligation to move forward.

2. Plan your legacy

Once we’ve learned about your business and goals, we’ll design a transition plan that reflects your hard work and ensures a smooth handoff. This includes valuing the company, creating a roadmap to secure your retirement, and planning for continuity so employees keep their jobs, customers are supported, and ownership responsibilities are passed on with confidence. Our goal is to turn your business into a lasting legacy while preparing you for the next chapter.

3. Transition with confidence

With your transition plan in place, we guide the process of bringing it to life. From finalizing the agreement to stepping into daily operations, we ensure the handoff is handled with care and professionalism. We take on the responsibilities of ownership so you can step back confidently—knowing your employees are supported, customers are cared for, and your retirement is secure. Our goal is to make the transition seamless for you, your team, and your business.
