Creating Maximum Profit Momentum Before Exiting
Your business exit should be the pinnacle of your efforts.
But pre-exit steps eill ultimately define the value realised.
Maximising pre-exit profit momentum drives higher exit valuations and multiples.
Yet the truth is, owners often lose momentum:
🟥 STAGNANT INNOVATION. Failing to launch new offerings leaves you vulnerable to changing needs. Ongoing innovation sustains revenue growth.
🟥 LAX COST CONTROL. Allowing costs to creep up erodes margins. Driving down expenses is a constant activity and requires financial discipline.
🟥 FOCUS DRIFT. Pre-exit distraction leads to sliding core KPIs. Stay focused on near-term profit drivers.
🟥 SLOWING INVESTMENT. Delaying investment decisions can restrict growth potential.
Strategic investors and M&A specialists can help you avoid momentum killers and maximise value.
🟦 Identifying profit growth levers to increase near-term earnings.
⬛ Benchmarking against industry best practice to target margin improvement.
⬜ Developing an exit-focused investment strategy to fund growth initiatives.
🟪 Establishing tracking to maintain focus on profit drivers.
With preparation, your business can realise full valuation potential and continue thriving under new owners.
