About this Event

Always Ready to Sell: Building a Sustainable, Scalable, and Predictable Business

A Focused Educational Workshop for Small and Mid-Sized Business Owners


What You Will Learn

Why do most businesses sell for less than they could? Because the exit process is usually unplanned, forcing owners to react under pressure. This workshop shifts your mindset from being "ready to sell eventually" to being "Always Ready," ensuring you capture maximum value when the opportunity arises—whether planned or unexpected.

Led by an experienced Fractional CFO, this small-group session provides a clear roadmap to de-risk your business and maximize its valuation.

You will learn:

  • The Buyer's Perspective: How potential acquirers analyze risk and why unpreparedness leads directly to valuation discounts.
  • The Core Value Drivers: We will discuss the critical areas buyers scrutinize during due diligence:
  • Planning & Strategy
  • Leadership & Team
  • Sales & Marketing Systems
  • Finance & Internal Controls
  • Legal & IP Compliance
  • Technology & Data Integrity
  • Human Resources & Talent Retention
  • Actionable Steps: Walk away with a checklist to begin transforming your company from a founder-dependent operation into a highly sustainable and scalable asset.

Workshop Format & Logistics

This is a focused, educational workshop designed for learning and implementation. It is not a sales pitch, and time will not be dedicated to networking. We will dive deep into the specific operational and strategic tasks required to build a sale-ready business.

  • Instructor: Scott Young
  • Group Size: 10 people - Limited to ensure a focused, interactive, and high-value learning experience.
  • Who Should Attend: Owners and senior leaders of private small and mid-sized businesses who are serious about long-term value creation.

Location: 401 E Jackson St Suite 2340
