• Owner Mindset Preparation

We help owners determine and refine their personal identity, relationships, & ultimate purpose for life after their eventual business exit.  PBN facilitators help form a clear and exciting personal plan for the owner(s) by working with our client's existing trusted advisers and/or by introducing and coordinating the efforts of other specialists - i.e. psychologists, personal financial advisers, estate specialists, business & life coaches, and clergy.

​

• Financial Readiness

Every dream has a price tag.  We work with teams of attorneys, tax counsel, accountants & financial advisers to project and conclude an ultimate recommendation for timing, type & pace of departure.  Ultimately, the team needs to deliver a plan that protects assets, accumulates exit funding & minimizes business and personal tax liability.
