It's your business - your life's work - your baby. And it's hard to be objective when evaluating the value of something so close to your heart. In fact, 95% of mergers and acquisitions professionals indicated that the owners’ “overestimation of value” was the number-one factor in failed deals.* Dan O'Neill of Consolidated Machine found Journey's structured 5-step exit planning process eye-opening and extremely beneficial. We invite you to listen to Dan's story and then reach out to set up a free consultation: info@journeyconsult.com or (920) 770-4141. www.journeyconsult.com Let's work together so that when the time comes to sell, buyers find your business as valuable as you do.

Does your family agree about everything? No? Now imagine trying to work through the financial, emotional and legal complexities of transitioning a family business. It's no ride in the park - just ask Chester (Chip) McDonald of McDonald Companies. As Chip shares, everyone in the equation has their own ideas of what's important and fair. By seeking to understand each stakeholder's perspective, we are able to develop a transition plan that ensures the whole family still wants to gather around the table at Thanksgiving.

All too many business owners get a serious wake-up call (the jaw-dropping, heart sinking into your stomach kind) when they decide it's time to retire. For a variety of reasons - overestimation of value, assuming offspring or management want to buy, lack of transferable systems, owner dependence, etc. - their plans for an exit, and comfortable retirement, are out the window. Not so with Dan O'Neill of Consolidated Machine...he recognized 1) the need to plan ahead for retirement and 2) he didn't have the knowledge and experience to tackle the job himself. As Dan shares, "I had way more questions than answers." Exit planning is not easy, but it's one of the most important parts of running your business. Let us help you avoid last-minute surprises and plan for your best exit: 920-770-4141 or info@journeyconsult.com www.journeyconsult.com
