The 360° Development Program™ is an exclusive multi-phase service designed from 30 years of best practices on how to sell your business. Different phases are used for different companies to optimize the transition of a business between the owner and the buyer, consequently eliminating Deal Killers and Time Wasters as early in the process as possible.

One size does not fit all…
Every company is different, so as a result various phases are used depending on the need to optimize the value and the transition of a business from the owner to the buyer with little or no stress.

how to sell your business

Phase 1: Business Analysis

Our business analysis provides a high level assessment of the scalability of your business. Internally, there is a review of the operational and financial health of your business. Externally, you receive an assessment of current industry and economic trends that might impact the value of your business. This analysis also involves a discussion to determine your transition readiness.

 

Phase 2: Market Valuation

This includes a current market valuation of your business. Key factors considered:

  • The financial history of your business
  • The industry trends and ratios
  • The value of the tangible and intangible assets of your company
  • The expected rate of return on your capital investments
  • The capability of your company to internally fund growth
  • The Transition360 risk assessment

Phase 3: Value Acceleration

A Value Acceleration involves a research-based process to increase the value of your businesses due to accelerating revenue generation. As a proprietary service, Value Acceleration includes research, analysis development and implementation of a validated growth plan. This plan is the result of a thorough business and market analysis to determine where your competitive advantage now lies, and how to leverage it. The ultimate outcome is an increase in your revenues, hence, increasing the market value of your business prior to sale.

Phase 4: Exit Planning

This is the creation of a strategic transition plan that meets your business, financial and timing objectives; therefore allowing you to achieve your personal goals and smoothly transition into the next chapter of your life. The purpose is to help you realize the highest value possible through an appropriately planned exit strategy and action plan.

Phase 5: Business Brokerage

Our 30 years experience as a Business Brokerage firm provides you a proven path to transition your business to a qualified buyer. This process starts with the design of customized marketing packages for different buyer segments; and concludes with the selection and interview of a small group of pre-qualified buyers. The end goal is the optimal sale and transition of your business to a new owner.
