Are you building your business for today’s profits—or for tomorrow’s payday when you exit?

Many entrepreneurs pour years of energy into growth but overlook the steps that make a company truly saleable. Financial blind spots, owner dependency, or poor succession planning can strip millions from a deal—or sink it entirely. The truth is, preparing for a profitable exit starts years before you ever plan to sell. We sat down with Karl Sigerist from the Shaughessy Group in this masterclass to answer shed some light on these issues. 

Whether you’re five years out or just starting to think about succession, the choices you make now directly impact your valuation, your tax outcome, and your legacy.

  • Why inadequate financial statements can slash your valuation—and how to fix them before it’s too late.
  • How to reduce “key person risk” so your business runs smoothly without you at the helm.
  • Smart tax and structuring moves that protect your wealth and make your company more attractive to buyers.

Press play now to learn how to prepare your business for a profitable exit and secure the reward your hard work deserves.
