How to Build a Valuable Business

About 20% of all businesses transition in some way or another each year, some sell, some liquidate and some totally close up shop. But what can you do to ensure that your business is one of the ones that sells and for the highest value. In this talk we’ll explore the need to have your business ready for sale always, and how to increase the likelihood it will sell and the price it sells for.

Diane has been very instrumental in helping us get our small business in tip top shape for it's eventual sale. She is so knowledgeable, helpful, and so patient as I usually need some help understanding certain aspects of financials, etc. I have no professional training on accounting and am completely self taught. She's taken the time to really help me understand the things I didn't know. She has an easy way about her too and makes our meetings enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Exit Factor to anyone who is looking to improve the way their business runs. She's helping us to have a well oiled machine!

I’ve worked with the head of Exit Factor, Diane Warsoff, in many other capacities quite successfully. She always brings a good long term view to her strategic approach and has always had a passion for “the little guy” including small businesses along with local nonprofits. She listens well and will help YOU achieve YOUR goals.

I recently worked with Exit Factor Lexington. I was impressed by the level of value their business evaluations brought to my company. They didn’t just hand me a bunch of numbers, but took the time to discuss a detailed plan that helped us understand where our company is today, but also gave us a greater understanding of how to improve our business for a positive exit strategy in the future. Their level of expertise and attention detail is second to none. Thank you Exit Factor.
