Most people associate the value of a business with some obvious factors such as profit, cash flow, and a strong balance sheet.
 

While these factors are very important, the ability for a business to be efficiently and effectively transferred or sold is what drives the price that a buyer would be willing to pay (or a family member could afford to pay the retiring owners).
 

Through our Exit Planning and Value Acceleration process, we work with owners to identify and improve their most important, and sometimes not so obvious assets.  We call these their 4 capitals...  human capital, customer capital, social capital, and structural capital.
