Operational Readiness for Exit or Funding

Scale-ups with €2-50m Revenue

Maximise value, minimise friction: get your business ready for acquisition or your next round of investment.

A great exit or funding round isn’t just about revenue - it’s about readiness to scale. Buyers and investors look for operational maturity, scalable growth, and minimal risk. This project ensures your company is positioned for a successful sale, investment, or acquisition.

Areas Where We Can Assist:

  • Revenue resilience – Strengthen predictable, recurring revenue streams.

  • Operational clarity – Eliminate bottlenecks and dependencies on key individuals.

  • Financial discipline – Ensure metrics, margins, and reporting stand up to scrutiny.

  • Strategic positioning – Align your business with investor and buyer expectations.

Who It's For:

  • Founders preparing for acquisition, funding, or investment in the next 12-24 months.

  • Leadership teams needing a clear plan to increase valuation and reduce risk.

  • Businesses looking to de-risk and remove obstacles to a smooth transaction.

Make sure your company commands the best possible valuation. Let’s talk about getting you exit or funding-ready.
