Gate 3: Decide

Grow or Exit?

Grow or Exit?

After moving through the Discover and Prepare phases, you arrive at the most important strategic decision point: Grow or Exit? 

This decision is revisited every 90 days and takes into account market timing, the business lifecycle, and your personal timeline.

Two Choices

Option A — Keep & Grow (Advanced Value Creation)

Option A — Keep & Grow (Advanced Value Creation)

Choosing to continue growing involves a 2–5 year commitment to Advanced Value Acceleration.

This path requires:

  • Investment back into the business
  • Cultural and organizational evolution
  • A significant increase in operational complexity


The reward: A potential 2x–3x increase in business value or more.

  Option B — Sell / Transition

  Option B — Sell / Transition

If the time is right to transition, we guide you through:

  • Exploring all available exit options
  • Comparing and evaluating each option against your goals
  • Selecting the optimal path
    Initiating and executing your transition plan

Inside Transition

Intergenerational Transfer

Management Buyout (MBO)

Sale to Existing Partners


Orderly Liquidation

Outside Transition

Sale to a Third Party


Recapitalization


Initial Public Offering (IPO)
