Before the Exit: 8 Ops Systems That Attract Buyers & Boost Valuation

Quarterly & Annual Planning Rhythm
Great companies don’t wing it. They paint a clear vision of what they’re building toward... and share it often.
Tight Hiring Process
Repeatable, fast, and built to scale. Personality assessments are a must. (We’ve built our own powered by A.I.)
Clean Org Chart
Defined roles. No seat warmers. No founder bottlenecks. Updated every quarter and visible to all.

Budgeting, forecasting, burn... bulletproof and run by a pro.
(Outsource if you must, but don’t hand it to your cousin learning QuickBooks.)
Repeatable Onboarding
For both clients and employees. First impressions carry weight. Make them count and put thought into them.
Asynchronous Reporting
Leadership runs on dashboards, not Slack messages. Visibility is non-negotiable. Stop flying blind.
