01 / The risk

When key knowledge leaves with you, buyers see risk.

What happens when the owner leaves?
Who knows how to keep everything running?
What important details am I missing?

Every unanswered question gives buyers another reason to lower their offer.

06 / FAQ

Common questions

Is this an exit-planning service?

No. It documents how the business runs and does not replace valuation, brokerage, legal, tax, or financial advice.

Do I need to have existing procedures?

No. Existing materials help, but interviews capture what lives in people’s heads.

Will this make the business run without me?

It makes responsibilities and dependencies easier to hand over. Some businesses will also need to delegate, train, or hire.

Does this guarantee a higher offer?

No. Documentation addresses one factor: whether a buyer can understand and take over the operation.

What happens on the first call?

We’ll discuss your timeline, owner dependencies, and the right scope.
