Why It Matters
Most businesses don’t sell when the owner wants to.
Not because they lack profit, but because they lack readiness.
Buyers pay premiums for structure, not stories.
Clean systems, reliable reporting, and low owner dependency create trust — and higher multiples.
Every month of preparation adds value.
The earlier you see what’s holding your business back, the easier it is to fix — and the faster you can step away when you’re ready.
The best time to prepare your business for transition was last year.

How It Works
Introductory Call
We start with a short call to understand your goals, timeline, and what you’d like to achieve. If we both agree it’s a fit, we schedule your on-site visit.
On-Site Visit
We visit your business to meet you and your team, tour your operations, and understand your systems and structure firsthand.
This allows us to see how your company truly functions day-to-day — beyond the spreadsheets.
Exit Readiness Audit™
Using the insights gathered, we evaluate your business across the five pillars, calculate your Exit Readiness Score™, and identify practical, measurable ways to improve readiness and valuation.
Results & Recommendations Meeting
We return to present your full report in person — including your readiness score, findings, and action plan. During this meeting, we answer questions, address any concerns, and discuss next steps under the Operational Excellence Framework™ if you choose to move forward.
Who It’s For
Owners planning to sell or transition within 6–24 months
Founders ready to step back or delegate daily operations
Established businesses with consistent revenue but unrealized value
Owners who want to protect their legacy and ensure continuity
If you’ve built something valuable, the audit ensures it continues to thrive — with or without you.
The Altra Advantage
What makes the Exit Readiness Audit™ different is depth and partnership. You’re not getting a survey or online checklist — you’re working directly with operators who have built and exited companies themselves.
Every recommendation connects to measurable outcomes: profitability, transferability, and valuation growth — all backed by our Operational Excellence Guarantee™.
You’ll see exactly what’s possible, what’s missing, and what’s next — before any buyer or successor ever does.
