Plan4exit

Preparing for exit is one of the toughest challenges a business leader can face.

It requires both superb preparation and excellent bargaining power. That means knowing your business inside out, from turnover and cash flow to customer service and headcount.

2nd Head's management consultants have a wealth of experience in helping business leaders plan and implement their exit strategy. We help you take a balanced view of how you operate to identify where improvements should be made, so that you can maximise the value of your business and achieve the best price.

Stepping back

We know that leaving a business can be an emotional time for all involved, which is why our Plan4exit business consultancy service helps you to step back from the things that could affect your judgement, while maintaining a sensitive approach throughout.

Plan4exit management consultancy includes:

Cash flow analysis – what cash leaks do you have and how well do you control your spend? We look at where weaknesses may be and how to address them so they don't reduce the value of your business.

Customer service – could poor response rates and/or retention levels pose a threat to future success and be off-putting to potential investors?

Human capital – what value do your employees really bring to your business? Is your headcount too high and are there efficiencies that could be made, for example through improved technology or outsourcing?

Communicating change – premature knowledge of acquisition can lead to unnecessary anxiety and loss of key employees. We help you manage communication with shareholders and stakeholders in a timely and considerate manner.

Following our analysis, we’ll formulate a comprehensive business plan to help you implement any necessary changes and include in this appropriate measurements for success. Plan4exit can also form part of a combined business consultancy service with Plan4growth – tying up your business objectives in one hit.
