Value Driver Program
The NYBB Group Value Driver Program
Are you trying to sell your business? If so, what steps have you taken to make your business look attractive to a prospective buyer? In our experience, business owners often leave money on the table during a sale because of poor planning.
That is why we developed the Value Driver Program – a simple, three-step program designed to help you increase the value of your business prior to selling it.
Step One: Initial Discovery
The primary purpose of our Initial Discovery is to determine where you and your business are in the exit planning process. Our Initial Analysis includes the following elements:
- A complimentary, Personal Readiness Index
- A Client Needs Analysis
- A Value Driver Analysis covering Six Value Drivers
Step Two: Assessment / Analysis
After our Initial Discovery is complete, we collectively decide the extent to which we will analyze your company’s drivers of value. We offer two different assessment plans:
- The Deep-Dive Assessment, our most comprehensive assessment, includes the following:
- Deep analysis Person Readiness and Business Attractiveness
- Deep assessment of the Six Value Drivers and their impact on Enterprise Value.
- The BusinessPro Assessment is for business owners who already have an Exit Strategy. It includes:
- Deep assessment of the Six Value Drivers and their impact on Enterprise Value.
Step Three: Implementation
The final step is to continue the engagement on a pre-determined monthly basis. These monthly “Advisory Workshops” will provide accountability and help you enhance the items that drive value for your business.
In conclusion, preparation is key in any important and life-altering decision. You wouldn’t send your child to college without proper planning. You wouldn’t decide to take a very expensive vacation without proper planning. You probably plan your wardrobe for a special occasion. So why would you sell your business without proper planning?
