Business sales and ownership transitions start years in advance of a sale. Buyers approach you, your kids want to take over, but when the time comes, nothing is prepped and the sale often falls through. Don't allow this to happen to your business that you've built from the ground up! This is your legacy, and planning ahead will ensure you are successful.

From getting people and processes in place, grooming the next leaders in your company, or setting up your business for a new owner to step in, Julie is an expert at helping owners find answers that they can't find on their own. As uncomfortable as it is to have these conversations in advance, we promise you that doing so will maximize your exit.

Quality of Earnings, also known as Q of E, are crucial reports when evaluating a company's valuation and true earning power. Our President of True North M&A, Michael Hubsmith, joined Chris to interview Joe Hellman, of Redpath and Company.

What's the point of investing in another "valuation"?

Well, the answer is pretty simple. A Q of E completed from an outside firm justifies valuations when companies go to market. It's often that buyers will drag out Due Diligence processes reviewing financials and asking question after question. To mitigate this process, and also uphold stronger valuations, Q of E's get the job done.

To learn more about Joe and Quality of Earnings, reach out to Michael Hubsmith and he can make the introduction!
