Craftsbury Consulting’s exit strategy services are tailored to help close the deal for top dollar while minimizing obstacles. We leverage our exit expertise to help companies prepare for a sale process by strategically positioning the business for maximum buyer interest. Then, when it is time to sell, we help navigate the process through exit facilitation and management presentation coaching.
Great businesses do not always make compelling investment opportunities. We help owners and management teams view their businesses through the lens of the buyer. With a clearer understanding of value drivers and likely detractors, companies can set a course towards a strong exit.
We work with investment bankers, private equity firms and founders/owners. Our engagements can be early in the hold period – helping to lay the foundation for multiple expansion by creating a vision for growth that will drive buyer interest – or, closer to the exit – educating managers on the exit process and helping prepare them for the rigors of buyer diligence.
Other exit services include workshops, retreats and a bespoke offering of management presentation coaching.
“I have known Caroline Young for over 10 years and have had the privilege of working with her on the sale of three different companies. Caroline understands how to prepare a business ahead of a sale process to maximize results. As a result of her track record as a private equity investor herself, she is acutely aware of how to emphasize a business’s strengths and how to position its flaws. Her experience in achieving outlier valuations and outcomes in sale processes is outstanding. Beyond her sharp skillset, Caroline has a unique ability to connect with business owners and managers. She is a great person who cares about the people with whom she works. It is always a fun and rewarding experience when working with Caroline Young.”
