Exit Readiness Audit
A structured assessment of where you stand today across financials, operations, legal, and buyer appeal. We score you against what buyers actually pay premiums for and identify the gaps killing your multiple.

The Exit You Deserve
Takes Years to Build.
Start Today.
The businesses that command the strongest offers are usually prepared years before they list — clean financials, documented operations, and reduced owner dependency. BOOJEE helps you build that financial clarity, documentation, and deal-structure understanding — confidentially, on your timeline. We prepare and coordinate; we are not a broker-dealer or financial adviser.

What We Build
Six deliverables. One sellable business.
Most businesses are worth far less than owners expect — not because they aren’t profitable, but because they haven’t been built to sell. We fix that.
Business Valuation
Market-comparable valuation using your actual financials — revenue, EBITDA, growth trajectory, and sector multiples. We show you what the business is worth today and what it could be worth with targeted improvements.
Value Driver Analysis
Buyers pay multiples for recurring revenue, clean systems, and low owner dependency. We map your current value drivers, rank them by impact, and build a prioritized plan to strengthen each before going to market.
Owner Dependency Reduction Plan
The single biggest discount on sale price is an owner the business can’t run without. We build your succession playbook — SOPs, delegation framework, and a staged transition that keeps valuation intact through diligence.
Deal Structure Options
Asset sale vs. stock sale changes your after-tax proceeds by hundreds of thousands. We model both structures and prepare you to negotiate from a position of clarity — not confusion — when offers arrive.
Tax-Optimized Exit Strategy
The structure of your exit determines how much you actually keep. We coordinate installment sales, capital gains timing, QSBS exclusions, and entity restructuring to maximize your net proceeds — before you sign anything.
How It Works
Four phases. One clear path to exit.
Every engagement follows the same disciplined process — from where you are today to a business that sells on your terms.
Readiness Audit
We assess your financials, legal structure, operations, and market position against buyer expectations. You get a scored report with clear priorities.
Strategy Session
A deep-dive working session to align on your exit timeline, target buyer profile, deal structure preferences, and the value improvements with the highest ROI.
Plan Development
We build the full exit strategy document — valuation, value driver roadmap, owner dependency reduction plan, deal structure analysis, and tax optimization framework.
Execution Milestones
Quarterly check-ins to track progress against your exit roadmap, update the valuation model as improvements land, and keep the strategy current as conditions evolve.
Packages
Two ways to work together.
Start with the Readiness Report to know where you stand. Upgrade to Full Exit Strategy when you’re ready to build toward market.

Our Approach
The exit multiple is built before the listing.
What a buyer pays depends almost entirely on what you built in the two years before they showed up.
We're building a track record and don't have verified client exits to cite publicly yet. What we can tell you: our Exit Readiness Report surfaces the exact gaps that suppress valuation — owner dependency, undocumented processes, revenue concentration — and gives you a 12-month action plan to address them before a buyer runs their own due diligence.

FAQ
Common questions.
How far in advance should I start planning my exit?
Generally, the earlier the better. The improvements buyers pay for — clean financials, documented SOPs, reduced owner dependency, and durable recurring revenue — take time to show up in the numbers, so owners who begin 3–5 years before a target sale date typically have more options than those who start 6–12 months out. Outcomes vary by business and market; we help you prepare, not guarantee a price or multiple.
What’s the difference between the Readiness Report and Full Exit Strategy?
The Readiness Report tells you exactly where you stand today — your current valuation benchmark, what’s holding down your multiple, and a prioritized roadmap to improve it. The Full Exit Strategy takes that foundation and builds the complete framework: the owner dependency reduction playbook, full deal structure analysis (asset vs. stock), tax-optimized exit structuring, and quarterly execution support for 12 months. If you’re within 2 years of a target exit, the Full Strategy is where to start.
Do you help with finding buyers or running the sale process?
Our focus is on getting you exit-ready — the strategy, documentation, financials, and structure to prepare before any buyer conversation starts. We are not a licensed broker-dealer or M&A intermediary, we do not act as a business broker, and we do not represent you in the transaction. Walking into the process prepared helps you negotiate from clarity. We can refer licensed M&A advisors and brokers when you’re ready to go to market.
What type of businesses do you work with?
We work with owner-operated businesses with $500K–$10M in annual revenue across professional services, healthcare services, home services, retail, SaaS, and light manufacturing. If your business is profitable and you want to exit on your terms in the next 1–5 years, we can help. Reach out even if you’re not sure — the readiness audit will tell you where you stand regardless of timing.
Is this confidential? I don’t want employees or customers to know I’m planning an exit.
Completely confidential. Everything shared with BOOJEE Estate is protected under our standard engagement agreement. We never contact your employees, vendors, or customers. All communication is with you directly. Part of the work we do is building a business that can transition without disruption — so your team and customers never notice a change in operations, even after close.
