Buyer Perspective
At Konvergent Wealth Partners, we help successful business owners like you look at your business from the eye of a buyer. In your eyes, your business may well be like your baby, but to those on the other side of the transaction, it could look a lot different.
The buyer perspective is one of the keys to identifying issues that are limiting the potential value of your company. We will help you organize and implement a plan that takes you from growth through exit while staying aligned with your goals.
You might already have very competent advisors. Yet, many times these kinds of advisors lack coordination and collaboration on their existing plan. When these plans are stress tested, we often find gaps and overlooked opportunities. Correcting these can make a very meaningful difference in your business, your wealth, and your ability to achieve your goals.

Over the last 10 years, we have streamlined these into a step-by-step process to evaluate your business objectively and move through the elements in a systematic way.
Think of your business as a car. Cash is the fuel to the business engine: without it, you can’t move the business forward to create the growth needed. The gears inside the engine drive growth and equity value, and all need to work in concert with each other to reach the business’s potential.
1. Predictable Profits and Cash Flow (Value Capture)
2. Sustainable Growth (Value Creation)
With the confidence that comes with predictable profits and cash flow, you are better able to deliver aspirational revenue and value. Here we develop a plan to increase Confidence in the Value Drivers that are critical to creating Sustainable Growth. Simply put, it’s the ability to grow without chaos.
3. Defendable Equity Value (Value Realization)
Advance wealth, realize potential, and face uncertainty with confidence.
Exit Planning
Most companies are ill-prepared and/or are not well-positioned for an exit transaction. This tends to result in lower valuations, fewer bidders, and sometimes failed transactions.
As you approach a point where exiting is closer on the horizon, developing a well thought out exit and financial plan will be critical for you and your family’s future. This is where our 6 Step Exit Planning Process comes in.
The 6-step Exit Planning Process
As you progress towards the succession of your business, it is important to have a process to ensure your goals are realized.
