Buyer-view acceleration factors
Six Ways To Build A Business A Buyer Can Trust
The first six of eleven acceleration factors shift the conversation from what an owner has built to what a future buyer can confidently acquire.
Factor 02
Growth Engine
Document the three-year revenue trend, market opportunity, and lead-generation results so a buyer sees proven upside—not growth that looks like a fluke.
Factor 03
Key Person Risk
Identify concentrated dependencies across employees, clients, and vendors; cross-train critical knowledge and build retention plans for the people a transition depends on.
Factor 04
Cash Flow Grade
Turn paper profits into dependable cash flow by improving collections and terms, managing the cash-conversion cycle, and maintaining an operating reserve.
Factor 05
Revenue Predictability
Convert more one-time revenue into repeat or contractually recurring income a buyer can count on, making the business more stable and valuable.
Factor 06
Market Domination
Strengthen positioning, pricing power, brand, and defensible advantages so the company can keep winning without being forced into a price war.
Each factor strengthens transferability, reduces perceived risk, and supports a more defensible value story.

Why Scott Proposki
I Know What An Unplanned Exit Can Cost
I built and operated a national company with a team of 50. I understand the weight an owner carries.
I also closed my own company without the exit plan I should have created. That experience is why I built The Handoff.
My job is to help make sure an unplanned exit does not happen to you.
