Value Enhancement Program

As the baby-boomers move into their late fifties and early sixties, they will need to consider a succession plan to harvest the equity value of their business.  The majority of the baby-boomers have 70% to 90% of their net worth tied up in their closely held businesses and their income generated by their closely held businesses supports their life style.  However, the majority of the owners’ of these businesses do not know the value of their business and virtually all of the owners’ of these businesses do not know whether the value of their business is growth or eroding.  Yet they are depending upon their business to fund their retirement and maintain their current life style.  In addition, they do not have a viable strategy to transfer their equity interest in exchange for the liquidly needed to support their life style. 

Our value enhancement program is designed to help small business owners grow the value of their businesses.  This three-year program starts with identifying the value of the business and a determination of whether the value of business is eroding or growing.  We identify the primary value erosion drivers and recommend growth strategies designed to reverse the erosion factors. 

We realize that the business owners have spent a lifetime working hard to build their business.  We also know that the business owners have an expectation of what they need to sell their business to provide enough capital after tax to maintain their current life style, fund their philanthropic objectives or provide for their family.  Unfortunately, most of the business owners will be disappointed and fall short of their targeted sale price.
