Exit planning with Dida Goudreau, CEPA

Thinking about selling in the next few years? Start planning now.

The owners who get the best outcomes usually started getting ready long before they listed. I help construction and manufacturing owners build value now so they have real choices later.

This is for you if

You're one to five years from wanting out, and you're not sure what to do first.
The business still depends on you for sales, key customers, or running jobs.
You want to know what you'd walk away with, and whether it's enough.

Exit planning is simply good business strategy

The same steps that prepare a company to sell also make it more profitable and easier to run today. You won't regret taking a hard look at your business and working toward a successful exit, whenever that day comes.

How we work together

Step 1

Get clear on your goals

When you want out, what you need financially, and what you want for your people.

Step 2

See where you stand

An estimate of what the business is worth today and what a buyer would worry about.

Step 3

Build a plan

A short list of changes that raise value, like cleaner books, a stronger team, and less reliance on you.

Step 4

Check in as you go

I work alongside your CPA, attorney, and financial advisor until you're ready to sell.

Common questions

Do I have to sell if I start planning?

No. A good plan makes the business stronger whether you sell, pass it to family, or keep it.

Will my employees or customers find out?

Not from me. Everything we talk about stays confidential.

How long does it take?

It depends on where you're starting. Some owners need a few months, others a few years. We'll know after the first conversation.
