Chicago, United States - March 17, 2018 /PressCable/ —
Walk the halls at Chicago-based SVA Value Accelerators and you will consistently hear two trademark principles that inform every interaction with their private business owner clients: “Transition-Ready Businesses are More Valuable” and “Owners need three things from a successful transition-readiness process: Clarity, Liquidity, and Legacy.”
Unlike other advisory firms that focus on the owner’s exit or transition itself, SVA concentrates it’s programs on creating a complete state of transition-readiness so a full spectrum of viable options is always available and never foreclosed. SVA’s “transition-ready calculus” uses options as leverage in an increasingly competitive market to improve the odds that an owner can successfully grow and unlock personal wealth trapped in their business. These are among the core features establishing SVA as the leading business transition readiness company.
When Sean Hutchinson, Barry Goodman and Warland Griffith came together from equally experienced, but very different, business backgrounds to create SVA Value Accelerators, they made it their mission to help business owners create their Path to Higher Valuation. SVA co-creates and then completely supports the implementation of a customized “Transition-Readiness Roadmap” for each client at three critical points in the process: Exploring, Pivoting, and Triggering. “We whole-heartedly believe that the way to encourage owners to take action on these critical business and personal opportunities is to meet them where they are in their process, and not try to pull them into our world” Hutchinson emphasizes. “And, importantly, we never leave our client’s side throughout the execution of their Roadmap.”
SVA’s proprietary Owner Ecosystem has three dimensions:
Exploring: SVA believes that education or “Exploring” helps the owner achieve the Clarity needed for further action. Explorers are offered live Transition-Readiness Workshops and Mastermind Groups that feature peer learning with other business owners also seeking information, insights, and answers. Each comprehensive Roadmap sets the stage for accelerating business value enhancements, exploring multiple transition options, understanding the framework for personal financial readiness, and formulating a plan for life-after-business.
Pivoting: Many owners feel stuck and simultaneously pressured from time or circumstance to move toward a greater state of transition-readiness. “Pivoting” into a more active mindset includes getting a baseline of where the business’s value stands today, as well as the risks, value drivers and killers, and personal wealth position and goals. Through SVA’s unique Discovery and Assessment process, and a structured set of 90-day “Sprints” that focus on key risk reduction and value enhancement initiatives, SVA helps owners target specific operational and strategic challenges without losing sight of personal financial and life-after-business goals.
Triggering: For business owners who are ready to transition but often not fully transition-ready, SVA’s comprehensive Triggering Decision Support Program helps evaluate all the options, ensures business and personal issues are identified and in order, examines multiple scenarios around pricing and terms for a potential transaction, and builds a team of expert advisors necessary to successfully execute the Roadmap. This is just one unique offering that has made SVA an emerging leader among exit planning advisors and business valuation advisory firms.
“Our programs create immediate clarity for the owner,” says Goodman. “sparking the owner’s journey toward Liquidity and Legacy. Just a little forward progress breeds confidence and it gets easier from there.”
