Planning for exit
You have built and run your business but now is the time where you are thinking of taking a step back or maybe even looking to plan for selling it.
If you are like most businesses, then at the moment you and any fellow owners/directors are probably crucial to the running of the business.
You need to work out how to get the business into a position where you are no longer needed 24/7 and you have a business that is efficient and that somebody can easily take over.
If a buyer looks at your business and it is disorganised or poorly run, they may reduce the offer as they perceive that there is a lot of work to do to make it right.
We have a proven framework
Using the proven OPUS framework, we work through your business to help you identify how to put the right structures in place to
allow your team to step up and remove you from the day to day running.
Taking all of the knowledge you have and getting it down onto paper and then analysing the best way forward is crucial to allow others to step in and take the pressure from you.
- Pre- Sales Customer Journey- map the journey, look at the communication and look for where we can make this better for you and your customers.

- Internal Process Mapping of your entire business, this will clearly identify issues, inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and other operational issues.
- What does your team need to do to step up and take more control?
