Advisory Services

Guidance at Every Stage of Your Transition

Four service engagements designed to meet you exactly where you are — from initial clarity through successful transition.

Service 01

Business Valuation & Transition Readiness

We offer two diagnostic pathways to help business owners understand their market value, score transition readiness, and identify critical exit hazards. Every transition strategy must start with objective numbers.

Option A: Business Value & Transition Score™

An automated, 15-minute diagnostic questionnaire that calculates your readiness metrics, highlights primary operational risks, and delivers an indicative market valuation range directly to your inbox.

$495 Flat Program Fee • Instant Delivery

Option B: Business Value & Transition Assessment™

A forensic, advisor-led audit of your trailing 3 years of profit & loss statements, balance sheets, and operations. Includes normalized Adjusted EBITDA add-back ledgers, readiness scores, and direct strategic options consulting.

$2,500 – $5,000 Custom Fee • 2–4 Weeks Delivery

Which Diagnostic Is Right For You?

**Choose the Score ($495)** if you want a quick, confidential benchmark of your numbers and operational readiness without sharing documents.

**Choose the Assessment ($2,500+)** if you are within 12–24 months of a transition and need verified figures for partners, family, or bank pre-qualification.
