what people are saying
“We were looking for advisory services on transitioning ownership to employees, as exit plan. For us the value was in facilitation of difficult and postponed conversations with long-term employees, getting them started. Ready for Next made pertinent observations on staff and business processes that were very useful.”
“The best business consultants get to the heart of what a business owner most needs. That is, incisive information, analysis and advice that drives intelligent, realistic decision-making in the best interest of the owner. That is precisely what I receive from Sean Hutchinson at Ready for Next. His unique approach to valuation and ‘what if’ scenarios is insightful and comprehensive. His questioning and feedback have been invaluable to me.”
“If your company is contemplating an exit, your first strategic move should be to connect with Ready for Next. After almost a decade of meeting them professionally, they are industry leading experts in coaching a company through what needs to be done to maximize value. Simply put, they are “Value Acceleration Gurus”!”
“Working with Cindy, Sean and the entire Ready for Next team was truly invaluable. When I was unexpectedly approached by my primary supplier with a purchase offer, I felt unprepared and overwhelmed. From day one, Cindy and Sean became my advocates, guiding me through every step of the process. Their expertise not only protected my interests but also helped me strategically go to market, increasing the sale value of my company by two and a half times what I initially expected. The investment in their services paid off exponentially and I couldn’t have achieved this outcome without their unwavering support.”
“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.”
“We chose to hire RFN Advisory Group and Warland for his talent to find ways to use our internal resources and their individual talents to work together for one common purpose. Additionally, the trust-based relationship they developed with our team was key.”
“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.”
“Ready for Next’s organizational abilities provide a defined roadmap for achieving a stated goal. The approach begins with a mile-high vantage point that captures the objective then drills down into achievable milestones with a clear path for success and metrics for evaluating the success.”
