Exit Readiness

An optimal exit is planned well ahead. Just as you would clean your car and touch up some chips before you post it for sale, your business needs to be prepared for an exit – it takes a bit longer than for a car, though.

Introduction

A good exit captures price; an optimal exit captures enduring value. Our Exit Readiness mandate is a proactive, 6-24-month journey that aligns strategy, operations, and governance with what premium buyers reward. We help owners convert today’s performance into tomorrow’s valuation while safeguarding legacy and long-term goals.

How we get your business ready

The Diagnostic and Valuation Blueprint

We start with a holistic assessment of your business’ market position, unit economics, growth vectors, risks and untapped opportunities. In addition, we identify gaps in governance and documentation that will become essential in a sales process.

The Value Acceleration Roadmap

Together we design a sequenced, owner-led plan across commercial, operational, financial, and legal workstreams with a view to enhance the exit value of your business and make it robust for a buy-side due diligence exercise.

Partnership to Launch

We act as your strategic co-pilot-a Swiss boutique firm operating with strict confidentiality and a white-glove, hands-on approach. We launch the sales process when you and your business are ready.

Conclusion

Your involvement is focused where it creates the most value: setting strategic direction, sharing institutional knowledge, and driving operational excellence. We make sure that you and your team know what matters for an exit and work with your team to implement the necessary steps – with discretion and rigor.
We are a boutique firm and we care – you will be personally advised by our partners, senior M&A professionals with decades of experience. We understand the intricacies of getting a business ready for sale and the deal dynamics that follow – and we bring the judgment, care, and clarity it demands.

If you’re considering a sale – whether now or in the coming years – let’s start the conversation. The earlier we engage, the better we can get you and your business prepared – and the more you will be in control of the right timing. At Compass Capital, your legacy is our compass.
