About Ready for Next’s Origin Story

Several of Ready for Next’s founding partners are CEPAs – Certified Exit Planning Advisors. All of our partners and team members are former entrepreneurs and have spent their careers supporting owners in building successful businesses.

Our mission is to help 10,000 business owners build strong businesses with transferable value and successfully transition from their business when the time is right for them.

We work with business owners to optimize the value of their business and make their company the best version of itself. The Ready for Next team works with owners and management teams to design and implement clear pathways to success.

Ready for Next programs are grounded in entrepreneurial experience, empathy, and expertise, making them transformational, not just transactional. Our team is genuinely invested in your success, delivering the outcomes you desire and deserve.
