Achieve Your Dreams. Achieve Leavability.
Time, Purpose, Enterprise Value. The three most potentially impactful assets you possess.
Imagine if you were to improve your satisfaction with some or all of these - what would that mean
for you, your family, and your business?
Would having more control over your time, your purpose, and the treasures with which you can invest in them be a welcome improvement? Take the first step in that direction by clicking below!
What Exactly is Leavability?
Quite Simply, it's Freedom.
Many business owners feel that their business is controlling their lives. They don't take vacations, often miss out on family, social, and leisure opportunities, and feel that their business can't survive without their day-to-day involvement and constant accessibility. If this reflects your experience, you might be facing "owner dependence." When a business is dependent on its owner, it isn't easily leavable. If it isn't leavable, there's a reasonable question as to whether it's sellable—at least on terms one might find attractive.
By identifying, addressing, and letting go of such dependencies, you can regain control over your time and how you spend it. For many, this can make the difference between wanting to sell or choosing to keep the business. Ultimately, "achieving leavability" means you've taken the necessary steps to position yourself for an exit on your terms, in a manner that best meets your needs.
To learn how we can help you to turn your business into a vehicle that empowers you to enjoy personal fulfillment, financial security, and achieve your desired legacy; simply click the button below.

Ready to Move On?
Are You Thinking of Selling Your Business Now?
The Good News is That You Can Sell Your Business FOR Yourself, But You Don't Have to Do It BY Yourself!
- Risk: Only 1 in 5 businesses listed for sale ever transact, the other 4 close their doors
- Cost: For a small business owner, the investment in using a broker can be prohibitive (that is, if you are able to find one to work with a business of your size)
- Solution: Work with an advisor who can help you to navigate the same process used by Brokers & M&A advisors alike to sell their clients' businesses, while saving yourself potentially thousands in commissions along the way*
*Selling a business is complex transaction with potentially impactful tax, legal, and financial implications. Our services do not, nor should they be construed to replace the need for you to seek wise counsel in these areas as you prepare for the sale of your business.
Ready to Take a Chance on Yourself?
Are You Considering Ditching the 9-5 and Going Into Business For Yourself?
Let us help you navigate the path toward entrepreneurship!
- Risk: Those starting a business from scratch suffer a 50% failure rate in the 1st 5 years
- Cost: Aside from any personal savings that may have been put into that business, failure of the business may lead to default on loans, and potentially forfeiture of home equity that was used to secure those loans...not to mention the mental and emotional impacts associated with losing one's financial security.
- Solution: Work with an advisor who can help you to navigate the process of identifying and acquiring an existing and healthy business with solid and predictable cash flow and strategic capacity for growth and value.
*Buying or Selling a business is complex transaction with potentially impactful tax, legal, and financial implications. Our services do not, nor should they be construed to replace the need for you to seek wise counsel in these areas as you prepare for the sale of your business.

Achieve Leavability
Just 1 in 4 business owners in this country successfully exit their business without it closing down in the process. In a word, they weren't "leavable". 3 in 4 of those who manage to sell, profoundly regret it within 12 months. Over 3 million businesses owned by baby boomers are about to test those statistics just when they're getting to retirement age...not to mention that 1 in 2 owner are over age 50. If you'd like to have better odds, we can help!
