Join 70,000 business owners and get your score on the 8 Factors That Drive Your Company’s Value, a comprehensive analysis of your score (Phase 2) and a detailed action plan (Phase 3) for how to improve your score on each.

• PREScore™ which measures your readiness to exit your business. As an owner, you’re ready for almost anything. But recent data shows that even the most affluent and successful founders struggle with one common problem: the regret of how they handled leaving their company.

• and your Freedom Score which shows the relationship between the value of your business and your personal financial planning needs. There comes a time when the sale of your company will generate enough income to fund the rest of your life. We call it the Freedom Point.  We will identify that Freedom Point.

Based on your benchmark scores and the results of your discovery session, we will develop a service engagement and detailed action plan.  Our engagement will be based on your vision and your goals and the gaps in your plans (Value Gap, Personal Gap, Wealth Gap).  Fees vary by engagement.
