  • When should I start succession planning?
    Ideally, 1–3 years before you want to exit — but we’ve helped owners with much shorter timelines too.
  • Do you help find buyers?
    We focus on getting your business in the best shape for sale. We can connect you with trusted brokers if needed.
  • What does this cost?
    The first consultation is free. From there, we offer tailored packages based on your needs and timeline.
  • I’m not ready to sell yet — should I still talk to you?
    Absolutely. Early planning gives you more options and helps you exit on your terms, not in a rush.
