Session #1
You will book a Zoom call with me. It will take anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. We will discuss the past, present and future of your business and what your intentions are around exit – type and timing.
You will provide me with a set of key information that will allow me to arrange a free Fair Market Valuation with your chosen business broker.
Summary Report
I will prepare a detailed summary on the conversation we have had that will include observations, suggestions and recommendations on how to maximise the exit value of the business based on your stated exit timing preference.
Fair Market Valuation
Along with the Summary Report, you will receive the Fair Market Valuation which will contain detail on the various methods of calculating value and the reasons that the method used has been selected.
Session #2
You will book a second Zoom call with me during which we will go over the contents of the report and tidy up any content that may need adjusting for accuracy and discuss my recommendations for what next.
Next Steps
At the conclusion of the 2nd Conversation, we will discuss whether you would like to engage RegenerationHQ to help you successfully implement the next steps and negotiate what that might look like.

Meet John Luxton
I have spent over 30 years in businesses large and small, from ownership of SMEs to executive positions in both corporate and SMEs, including wide experience in engineering, manufacturing, wholesale distribution, franchise and residential construction.
In that time I have helped grow new businesses from scratch, turbo-charged the growth and development of others, rescued a couple from collapse, closed down three who were never going to make it and supported the exit of founders and owners.
What I have learned through all of this is something quite simple but always critical. Businesses are about people and the first thing that any business owner looking to exit needs to get a handle on, it is getting the team lined up behind you and working collaboratively with you on reaching your goals and theirs.

This Book Walks You Through:
-
Even when a business owner is certain they want to exit their business, it often comes as a surprise just how difficult it is to let go and how much work to prepare for a successful exit. This stage is all about getting owners “match fit” for the marathon ahead.
-
Potential buyers are always very hungry for information and it’s always more than vendors think. This stage is all about gathering all the financial and tangible information that is required to put a value on the business.
-
Apart from the financial information, there is much more a buyer wants to see. This stage is about taking into consideration elements such as team strength, customer and supplier relationships, IP, business processes and systems and more.
-
What adds real value to a business is demonstrating that there are solid and viable strategic and sales/marketing plans that will take the business into the future. This stage contains a series of audits and guides to development of those plans.
-
The single most important thing an owner can do in the exit preparation process is vacate the driver’s seat and have a competent leader and management structure in place. This stage is all about working through this transition.
-
Approaching an exit is an unsettling time for all stakeholders. This stage is all about getting the communication about the future clear and reassuring for the internal team, the customers and the suppliers.
-
Once all the preparation work has been completed, a revaluation can show a significant uptick in the asking price as a reward for the work that has been undertaken to tick the boxes for potential buyers.
-
Listing the business should be a time of celebration for both the owner and the broker because what is being presented is strong, complete and attractive.
-
The business is sold. The keys are handed over and the former owner should be happily and confidently stepping into the new life they’ve been looking forward to and have been preparing for from the beginning.
