client background

Client Background

A woman who founded a successful medical spa but wanted to follow her passion in real estate found herself facing a significant roadblock — the medical spa business wasn’t prepared for a smooth exit. The financials were disorganized with real estate and other investments mixed in, along with a confusing organizational structure of the spa staff. With next opportunities on the horizon, she realized she had a lot of work to do before exit could become a reality.

Their Goals

Putting in place key systems like financial separation, clear contracts, and a shift to a membership model.

Transitioning the business to a model that generates consistent, recurring income.

Ensuring the business's long-term success by securing a lease for the transition after the sale.

The Challenge

Despite a solid business model, several key challenges were preventing a successful exit:

Financial Disorganization

Disorganized financials with real estate and other investments mixed in

Unclear Organizational Structure

Confusing organizational structure of the spa staff

Exit Preparation Deficit

Lack of preparation for a smooth exit

Workload Before Exit

Need for significant work before an exit could become a reality

Our Approach & Strategy

Despite a solid business model, several key challenges were preventing a successful exit:

Goals and Timeline

Put in place a full exit strategy and timeline tied to the owner’s personal goals.

Financial Optimization

With multiple businesses and messy books, we assisted with restructuring financial reports and clean up.

Staffing and Structure

We assisted in establishing clear roles, responsibilities, and staffing contracts that were transferable.

Growth and Expansion

The owner transitioned static revenue to recurring monthly packages that increased the valuation of the company.

Exit Process

Assisted the owner in building the team for selling the business and tax planning.
