start Up / Scale Up
This module is for the Start Up or Scale Up Founders that are wanting to achieve substantial valuation growth, and have a harvest or inflection within a specified timeframe.
There are three modules that can assist in developing a plan as to what that final outcome horizon looks like and then working back to determine the projects to work on now to not only defend and extend existing markets, but also to create a roadmap of priority projects for removing constraints to growth, incremental improvements, accelerate growth or to transform the industry or sector you operate in.
Fulcircle Consulting can assist you to access grant and other funding options to fuel your growth plans.
Harvest (Exit) Planning
Working with your Accountant or CFO, Fulcircle can assist to fill the value gap and help you get your business ready for sale.
Value Gap = Founder valuation expectation - Actual accounting valuation
Investors look for more than just current sales revenue results, they want to know that this is a business that is optimised and systemised, and not reliant on the Founder to operate. This means they feel confident they can step in and achieve reliable, consistent results from your business machine.
Depending on your timeframe, we have a solution that can step in straight away to get your operations manual done. Alternatively, if your initial valuation fell short of expectations, with a bit longer timeframe before exiting (5-7 years), we can help to unlock value in your business with a roadmap of projects that will get you to the valuation you want to achieve. Once this is complete, we can then systemise your marketing and business processes to create your investor-ready operations manual.
With an aging population, ABS research shows that there are going to be more business owners seeking to exit their businesses once they get to 50 years or older. This means more competition for a smaller number of buyers, so your business will need to stand out from the pack to get noticed.
Alignment & Impact
Life has a way of happening to us while we are busy making other plans - anon
There are often milestones we reach, or situations we encounter, that makes us re-evaluate what's important to us as we head into our second half - or the years after our 50th birthday.
There can also be the unforseen - ending of relationships, kids leaving the nest, aging parents needing care, or even our own health concerns - that can bring forward plans to exit out of high growth businesses or cause massive changes to the way we want or need to operate a business going forward.
