1. The business will be complete a questionnaire and provide high-level business information protected by a Non-Disclosure Agreement with RedSwan Partners.
2. The business owner will have a 1 to 2 hour interview with one of our senior operating partners to discuss the questionnaire and to gain a greater understanding of your business dynamics
3. Based on the information received and analysed the business owner be sent RedSwan's proprietary ERA report, setting out both the evaluation and recommendations
4. Follow up call/meeting to discuss findings and agree any next steps.
HOW THE ERA WORKS
Red Swan Partner's Exit Readiness Assessment provides business owners with an objective assessment of their business. It answers three key questions:
1. Is my business ready for an exit?
2. Has the value of my business been maximised?
3. Are there areas that need improving?
Red Swan has developed a proprietary ERA toolkit based on our partners’ extensive experience of growing, buying, and selling businesses, Additionally, there have been detailed consultations with a range of strategic and financial buyers.
