The entrepreneurial journey is far from linear. Yet, the development of a business does follow some consistent phases – conception, start-up, early, growth, rapid growth, maturing and finally innovation, decline or sale.
Depending on where you are as an owner and your business phase, there are different supports needed. Ready for Next has supported owners through all situations. We believe when it comes to building value and preparing to transition their business, owners are typically in one of three stages: exploring, pivoting or triggering.
Are you an exploring, pivoting or triggering business owner?

Exploring options and possibilities is often the first step in any big decision. Increasing your understanding and knowledge about your business’ potential and how to grow its value is the crux of this part of your journey to achieve higher valuation and transition-readiness.pivoting

Pivoting owners are ready to invest in optimizing business value and achieving transition-readiness. Both are complex and require a trained professional to guide you on your journey. It is time to pivot into action and reach the next level of exceptional performance.
triggering

Change can happen quickly, triggering an owner into action. Sometimes owners are ready to transition but their businesses are not transition-ready. The reasons for rapidly accelerating the transition timeline are diverse. You require a professional to help you make the best decisions possible under the circumstances.
No matter where you are in your ownership, Ready for Next has relevant and timely solutions.

what people are saying
Imagine your business’s enterprise value was $7M.
Now imagine a handful of years later it has risen to $20M.
This was reality for one of our clients. We worked with them to accelerate the value of the business with intention and focus. Reducing risk, putting the right people in the right positions and increasing collaboration were just a few items we addressed.
The added bonus was giving the owner back the drive and passion for his business by allowing him to be a visionary and removing him from day-to-day operations.

“We have been having a conversation with our father about a succession for a decade and felt we weren’t getting anywhere, to the point of hyper frustration on both ends. When RFN came in, everything lined up and went smoothly right from the start. We accomplished a giant milestone that we had been trying to figure out for a long time. It was a great experience.”
“I know I spoke to you in the past about how much I appreciate your referral to RFN. They are a world class team that has provided a thorough and professional assessment of our dealership in a warm and caring environment. They identified strengths and weakness which aligned quite well with my mindset. I will continue to work with the team as they will present different paths on how to proceed from this point forward. Again, I want to thank you for your assistance for making this connection possible with Ready for Next.”
