WHAT YOU GET?

 

 

The Exit Ready masterclass, facilitated by Roland Frasier, is strategically segmented into 8 modules, each covering a specific area of focus. Each area of focus is covered in full detail with easy-to-follow instructions on how to implement each vital step. Additionally, you’ll have LIVE support provided each week during the Exit Ready LIVE coaching sessions. In 8 short weeks, you’ll have a complete understanding and a clear path for your business or to help anyone confidently become Exit Ready.

 

 

• Week 1 – Module 1

Understanding Exits & Multiples

In this module, we’ll take a deep dive into truly understanding how multiples work and the driving factors behind a successful exit. You’ll learn how to properly find your multiple and how to set the foundation to ensure you hit your target valuation.

 

 

• Week 2 – Module 2

Optimal Structures And Maximum Valuations

In Module 2, you’ll learn how to effectively identify gaps, opportunities and critical changes you’ll need to make to give your business the optimal structure for the highest valuation possible as we go through the entire Exit Ready process.

 

 

• Week 3 – Module 3

Enhancing The Experience

The customer experience does more than drive repeat business and encourage referrals. Businesses with better customer experiences have up to 5.7 times higher valuations! It’s one of the most underutilized exit factors that can significantly increase your valuation. In Module 3, you’ll learn how to effectively leverage the customer experience so that it directly increases your valuation.

 

 

• Week 4 – Module 4

The SPV Model

In module 4, we’ll break down the SPV Model and ensure your business has every element in place. Leveraged Sales, Bankable Profits and Transferrable Value each play a significant role in getting your business “Exit Ready” and we’ll walk you through each step of the implementation.

 

 

• Week 5 – Module 5

Exit Ready Operations

Buying a business can pose a fair amount of risk and businesses that mitigate risks sell faster and for premium prices. In Module 5, we’ll assess these risks from operations to reporting financials and hand you the step-by-step blueprint for putting Exit Ready operations in place.

 

 

• Week 6 – Module 6

ACW Criteria For Exits

In module 6, we’ll cover the quickest way to ensure you have every potential gap covered by understanding how to leverage micro M&A for growth in preparation for your exit. Making one important move can easily give you a significant increase in your valuation and we’ll show you exactly how to do it.

 

 

• Week 7 – Module 7

Planning Your Exit Correctly

In Module 7, we’ll cover the key considerations for a successful exit, operational planning that will help you avoid disaster, what to do in advance of your exit and what you should stop doing with adequate time before your exit. This is one of the important steps in the exit process and where we will identify any potential problems as well as opportunities in advance.

 

 

• Week 8 – Module 8

Buyers & Executing Your Exit

In module 8, we’ll help you identify and overcome what stops 80% of businesses from selling and join the small percentage of high-value businesses that experience a successful exit. We’ll cover every detail from finding the right buyer, to assessing your multiple (and whether you can get more) to choosing the right transition and exit process for you
