Business Boot Camp: A Business Assessment with Basic Valuation
Maximize Your Company’s Preparedness, Valuation and Likelihood of Closing a Successful Sale.
We will conduct both internal and external reviews of your business and provide a valuation range. A Prioritized Action Plan will be provided detailing areas in your business that may need attention prior to going through a sale process or if a company is planning on seeking outside investment.
Work with Certified Exit Planning Adviser, Erin Fenstermaker, to assess your:
Business Attractiveness
Learn what external metrics 3rd parties use to rate a business’ acquisition or investment attractiveness and how your company measures up in these areas.
Exit Readiness
We will review and score your company’s internal tangible and intangible attributes, and explain how they drive company value and higher multiples. This also identifies possible areas of weakness that would come out in a buyer Due Diligence process, and gives the company a chance to correct them prior to going to market.
Business Valuation
We will review your historical and forecasted financial statements, determine the adjusted EBIDTA number for your last 12 months used in valuations, and determine your business’ current range of value.
Upon completing these assessments, you will receive a Prioritized Action Plan identifying areas of company strength and weakness, including written recommendations to mitigate risks and where to invest in order to increase your business’ current range of value before pursuing a company sale or investment.
Having a successful sale outcome increases exponentially with the preparation provided by the Business Exit Boot Camp.

Every company that feels they are ready (or nearly ready) to move towards significant capital investment, acquisition or strategic merger should reach out to BirdsEye Advisory Group and partake in their Exit Planning Boot Camp. Like the name says, it’s an intense project, and I would recommend it even if you AREN’T considering an exit in the near future. Every stone of your company is turned over, examined and evaluated ~ essential in understanding the true health and readiness for scale or sale of your company. The structure of the program makes it relatively easy to walk through every aspect thoroughly and thoughtfully. Erin and Carol helped us hone in on where we excelled, what still needed some refinement, and what holes were empty and needed to be filled. The work they did with us, their thoughtful insights, and action plan recommendations have helped our team move to the next level faster than we would have been able to do on our own.

BirdsEye does its best to make the process as fun and enjoyable for their clients as possible!
