Selling a founder-led business: the eighteen-month runway

Where most firms get this wrong

The rules rarely change overnight. What changes is how early you see them coming, and whether anyone has translated them into decisions you can actually make.

We start every engagement by writing down, on one page, what matters to the business in the next eighteen months. Everything else is measured against that page.

What to do this quarter

Ask for a short review of your current position before year end. An hour now usually saves a far longer conversation later.

If you would like a second opinion, any of our partners will read your documents before the first call.
