RUSS MCGUIRE
As a certified exit planning advisor (CEPA), I guide companies to improve performance now and achieve successful transitions in the future. Previously, as a corporate executive, I led strategic initiatives that created $billions in value. As an entrepreneur, I also understand the unique challenges of running a small business.
As a Christian business owner, I believe in building businesses with integrity that create lasting value. That's why I'm passionate about helping you achieve your goals.
Here's how I can help:
- Maximize Your Business Value Today: I will help you identify areas to improve your bottom line and overall attractiveness to potential buyers.
- Ensure a Smooth Transition: We'll work together to prepare your business to thrive without you, minimizing disruption and maximizing success.
- Plan for Your Future: We'll explore your exit options and develop a strategy that secures your financial future and lets you pursue your next chapter.
- Leave a Legacy: We’ll identify and establish an ongoing positive impact to those touched by your life and your business.
Every business owner exits eventually. Don't leave it to chance. Let's work together to ensure a successful exit on your terms.
