This episode is the third in our current series - Tales from the 17% Club - on the Maximize Business Value Podcast. Host Tom Bronson interviews guests Mike and Nikole Rose, who successfully exited their business in 2017. Only 17% of business owners successfully transition their business to a buyer or the next generation, so Mike and Nikole are members of what we call the 17% Club. The Roses walk us through the transition timeline, due diligence process and what they learned along the way. Listen now to hear tales from the 17% club, so you can become a member someday!

Elevating Businesses to Achieve The Business Owner’s Dream Exit
The unfortunate reality is that for every business that comes on the market (for whatever reason), only 17% of them achieve a successful exit. You read that right. 83% of attempted business transitions never reach the closing table. Mastery Partners is on a mission to change that. We ELEVATE businesses to achieve maximum value and reach that dream exit.
Our objectives are simple - understand where the business is today, identify opportunities for dramatic improvement, and offer solutions to enhance the business, making it more marketable and valuable. And that all starts with understanding the business owner’s definition of his or her dream exit.
Mastery has developed a 4-Step Process to help business owners achieve their dreams.
STEP 1: Transition Readiness Assessment
STEP 2: Roadmap for Value Acceleration
STEP 3: Relentless Execution
STEP 4: Decision: Now that desired results are achieved, the business is ready for the next step in the journey!
