We Help Business Owners Build, Prepare, and Exit with Confidence.
Pace Consulting works with owners of privately held businesses who are considering a sale within the next one to three years.
Our 24-Month Exit Blueprint brings together business strategy, operational performance, financial readiness, and market positioning to help owners understand their options and prepare for the next stage of their business journey.
From identifying opportunities for improvement to preparing for buyer conversations, we help bring structure and clarity to the exit-planning process.
- Clarity Before Decisions
- Preparation Before the Sale
- Strategy Focused on Business Value
Our approach
We measure enterprise value and transferable value, then rank the drivers that will close your value gap.
Prepare Today. Create More Value Tomorrow.
Exit readiness rests on three legs: the business, your personal finances and you. We assess all three so value, timing and your goals line up before your company ever goes to market.
CLOSE THE VALUE GAP
Measure the distance between what your business is worth today and what you need from the sale, then build the plan to close it.
BUSINESS READINESS
Reduce owner dependence, document systems and strengthen management so value transfers with the business, not with you.
FINANCIAL READINESS
Recast EBITDA, documented add-backs and a pre-diligence review that hold up when a buyer's team tests the numbers.
PERSONAL READINESS
Clarity on your exit options, your target number and life after the sale, so you leave on your terms.
See What Actually Drives Your Market Value.
You can’t improve what you can’t see. Buyers price a business on its earnings and on its intangible capital: the people, customers and systems behind those earnings. We measure each one and show you which levers move your value.
Earnings Quality
Recast EBITDA, margin trends and recurring revenue: the earnings a buyer will pay a premium multiple for.
Human Capital
Management depth and owner dependence. The less the business relies on you, the more of its value transfers at sale.
Customer Capital
Customer concentration, contracts and retention that make future revenue predictable to a buyer.
Structural Capital
Documented systems, clean financials and records that are ready for due diligence before a buyer asks.
Built for Owners Thinking About What's Next.
Our exit-planning approach is intended for privately held business owners who want to make informed decisions about their company’s future.
Owners Planning Ahead
For business owners considering a sale within the next 12–24 months.
Owners Exploring Their Options
For those who want a clearer picture of their business's current position and potential readiness for a future transaction.
Growing Businesses Preparing for Transition
For owners who want to strengthen financial visibility, operations, and internal systems before engaging potential buyers.
A Proven Process. A More Prepared Business.
01
Assess
A readiness assessment across all three legs: the business, your personal finances and your goals. We set a baseline valuation and define your target number and timeline.
02
Analyze
We recast your financials, measure transferable value and identify the value-killers a buyer would find, from owner dependence to customer concentration.
03
Improve
We run focused value-enhancement projects on the drivers that close your value gap, with quarterly reviews to track progress.
04
Prepare
A pre-diligence review and an organized data room, so your business can be presented clearly and examined without surprises.
05
Negotiate
When you choose your exit option, whether a third-party sale, management buyout or family succession, we can take the business to market and represent you through negotiation and closing.

Questions About Preparing Your Business for an Exit?
What is the 24-Month Exit Blueprint?
A structured exit-planning engagement. We assess your readiness across the business, your personal finances and your goals, measure your value gap, and sequence the work that builds transferable value over 24 months.
When should I begin preparing to sell my business?
Ideally two to three years before you want to exit. The work that moves value most, such as reducing owner dependence, cleaning up financials and strengthening management, takes several quarters to show up in your numbers.
What does the Blueprint include?
Every package includes a current valuation and needs assessment, a tax, financial and personnel review, key performance indicator analysis, a 24-month Blueprint with quarterly reviews, and referrals to the CPA, attorney or wealth advisor you may need.
Can I sell my business independently?
Yes. The Blueprint prepares you to sell on your own if you prefer. If you would rather we take the business to market, your Blueprint fees are credited toward the success fee at closing.
Is the $99 discovery-session fee credited toward services?
Yes. The $99 discovery-session fee is credited in full toward any Pace Consulting engagement you purchase.
How do I get started?
Reserve a 30-minute discovery session for $99, or send a confidential inquiry and we will follow up personally.
Will every business achieve the same valuation or outcome?
No. Value depends on your earnings, your industry, market conditions and how transferable your business is. We do not promise a price or multiple; we show you what drives yours and how to improve it.
What is the value gap?
The difference between what your business is worth today and what it needs to be worth to fund your life after the sale. Measuring it early tells you how much work there is to do and how long it will take.
What is transferable value?
The part of your company’s value that stays with the business when you step away. Buyers pay more for a company that runs on its management team, systems and customer relationships rather than on the owner.
