Our services
How it works
Our business transition support has three services. Automate and augment: your business becomes able to run without you. Prepare to sell: Transition Document, data room and a defensible value. Sell your business: several buyers and a win-win deal. Each service prepares the next: together they deliver the best result.
No commitment. No cost. 45 minutes.

3services: automate and augment, prepare to sell, sell
- 01
Automate and augment
→ prepares the sale
Processes mapped, bottlenecks fixed, systems and AI installed on site, documentation: the business runs without you.
With a partner in your region. The service that creates the most value.
- 02
Prepare to sell
→ makes the sale pay more
Transition Document, data room and a defensible value: the business becomes readable for a buyer.
Before meeting the first buyer.
- 03
Sell your business
Several buyers and a win-win deal, with your tax advisors, your lawyers and a registered dealer.
Well represented, through closing.
All three, together
Each service prepares the next. Doing them together, early, is how you get the best price and the most value for your fees.
It starts with a free 45-minute audit.
01
It all starts with the free audit
A 45-minute call to measure where you start: independence score, indicative value range and three recommendations. If you want more before committing, the one-week on-site audit ($5,000, credited if you sign within 90 days) gives a full picture.
02
1. Automate and augment
The goal: a buyer sees a business that stands without you. It's the longest service, and the one that creates the most value.
- Map your processes, the ones that exist and the ones that are missing.
- Find where you, or a key employee, are the bottleneck.
- Build systems that work without one specific person: delegation, tools, automation, AI installed on site.
- Document: procedures, roles, the owner's know-how.
03
2. Prepare to sell
Once the business stands without you, we make it readable for a buyer.
- Write the Transition Document: the business's operating manual for the successor.
- Set up the data room: normalized financials, contracts, team, with the Transition Document at its center.
- Establish a defensible value before talking to a buyer.
04
3. Sell your business
Well represented, with options on the table.
- Presentation file and buyer search with our partners: competitors, investors, employees.
- Negotiating price and structure: vendor financing, a well-framed earn-out, retained equity.
- For a share sale, the process is run with a registered dealer.
- Transition after closing.
05
Who does what
The firm leads the project, measures progress and runs the preparation and the sale. The regional partner, an AI implementer or process consultant near you, does the hands-on work of the first service. You run your business from start to finish.
Fees tied to results
We earn when you do.
Our fees to sell your business range from 5% to 25% of the transaction value, depending on how complex the implementation and the sale are. They are almost entirely tied to results and mostly paid after the sale. So starting well before you want to sell costs you almost nothing upfront.
Worked example
From $2.8M to $4M
On results
Our fees are mostly paid after the sale. Almost nothing upfront.
Starting value ($2.8M)Extra kept when the sale is simpler
| Value at the start | $2.8M |
|---|---|
| Value created | +$1.2M |
| Sale price | $4M |
| Our fees | 5–25% |
| For you | $3–3.8M |

Frequently asked questions
- How long does the engagement last?
- It follows your sale horizon, ideally one to four years. Automating and augmenting takes most of that time.
- Do I need all three services?
- That's what we recommend. Each service prepares the next: an automated business documents quickly, a good Transition Document reassures the buyer, and a reassured buyer pays more. Doing them together, early, gives the best price and the most value for your fees.
- What is the regional partner?
- An AI implementer or process consultant based in your region. They do the hands-on work of the first service. A region is listed as served only once a partner has signed.
- What does it mean to "augment" a business?
- Making it able to run without you: written knowledge, handed-over relationships, delegated decisions and, where useful, AI tools installed on site that keep the knowledge in the company.
- Will my employees know I'm selling?
- Not until you decide. Automating and augmenting is presented as a business improvement project, which is what it is.
- Can I stop along the way?
- Exit terms are in the contract. We discuss them openly during the audit.
