Personal Exit Readiness

Most founders focus on business readiness but ignore the personal preparation that determines post-exit happiness and success

The Hidden Challenge of Business Exits

Your business might be ready to sell, but are you ready for life after exit? Many successful founders experience profound regret, identity crisis, and relationship strain because they prepared their business but not themselves.

75%

60%

say they wish they’d prepared differently for life after exit
 

40%

of high-value exits fail to deliver personal satisfaction

what we assess

Our comprehensive Personal Exit Readiness Assessment evaluates five critical dimensions of your exit preparation.

 

Personal Clarity & Motivation

Understanding what success truly means to you and why you want to exit.

  • Definition of personal success beyond money
  • Clear exit timeline and motivations
  • Risk tolerance for exit strategy
  • Emotional attachment to the business

Emotional & Legacy Readiness

Your emotional preparation for letting go and the legacy you want to leave.

  • Emotional preparedness to hand over control
  • Legacy and reputation concerns
  • Impact on team, family, and stakeholders
  • Unfinished business and regrets

Financial Planning & Expectations

Realistic financial planning for your post-exit life and goals.

  • Post-exit financial needs assessment
  • Business valuation understanding
  • Tax and legal planning preparation
  • Financial structure preferences

Post-Exit Transition Preparedness

How well you’ve planned for the practical and emotional realities of life after exit.

  • Identity beyond being a founder
  • Time structure and new pursuits
  • Support systems and relationships
  • Management of sudden wealth

Exit Strategy Alignment

How well your personal objectives align with your business exit strategy.

  • Personal goals vs business trajectory
  • Preferred buyer type and structure
  • Flexibility on timing and terms
  • Post-transaction role preferences

The cost of being unprepared

Even successful exits can become personal disasters. We regularly see founders who achieved great financial outcomes but suffered from identity crisis, relationship breakdown, and deep regret about how they handled their exit. The highest-priced exit isn’t necessarily the most successful one.

 

Why We're Doing this

We’re entrepreneurs ourselves, and know how daunting the idea of exiting a business can be.

We created this offer because we couldn’t find a clear, founder-focused process that combined strategy with personal goals when we were previously building businesses.

This is what we wish we had done when we first thought about exiting.
