Straight talk on the decisions that cost real money, written by the people who do the work.

Read the InsightMost exit planning assumes the owner will decide when to sell, on their own timeline, from a position of strength. Many exits do not happen that way. Health events, death, disability, partner disputes, divorce, burnout, and unexpected offers can force a transition before anyone is ready, and an unprepared business can lose much of its value in the process.
Read the InsightMany owners think of business value in terms of revenue, often because they have heard that a company “sold for a multiple of sales.” A professional valuation looks much deeper. It measures the earnings and cash flow the business can reliably produce, the risks attached to those earnings, the growth it can realistically achieve, and what its balance sheet adds or subtracts.
Read the InsightGross margin is one of the clearest signals a business has about whether its prices are working. It shows how much of each sale is left after the direct cost of delivering it, and how that cushion is changing over time.

Read the InsightTreating a worker as an independent contractor when the relationship looks like employment can seem like a simple way to reduce payroll costs and paperwork. When the classification is wrong, though, the business may owe back payroll taxes, penalties, interest, state unemployment contributions, and workers’ compensation premiums, often for several years at once.

Every decision in your industry carries weight. When the people advising you already know your market, you can protect what you have built and keep growing without running into a constraint nobody saw coming.
The Integrated View
