Financial normalization
Restructured so buyers see the business as it actually performs, not distorted by owner-specific decisions.
Exit Planning
Build a food business that can be sold on your terms
Most food businesses aren't structured for an exit — the financials aren't clean, the story isn't buyer-ready, and the value hasn't been surfaced. We run a 24–36 month program to change that.
Three distinct services
Exit readiness, succession, and transaction preparation are not the same thing.
We are advisors, not business brokers — our role is to make the business more valuable and more transferable, and to prepare you for the negotiation, not to run the sale process itself.
Exit readiness
Making the business more transferable and valuable, well before a sale is on the table.
Succession planning
Reducing dependence on the owner so the business can run, and be valued, without you in every decision.
Transaction preparation
Preparing the information, narrative and negotiating position once a sale process is underway.
The 24–36 month program
What's included.
Buyer-ready growth story
A strategic narrative and performance record that shows buyers where the value came from and where it's going.
Buyer profile & pre-sale relationships
Identifying likely buyer profiles and beginning relationships well before a formal process starts.
Structure, terms & timing
Guidance on deal structure, terms, timing, and — just as importantly — when to walk away.
"Working with Werner for more than 3 years, he helped us invest $1.8M in modernization, restructure strategically, and position for a planned exit in the next 2 to 3 years."
