In this episode I am joined by John Ovrom, founder of Exit Consulting, which provides consulting and brokerage services for businesses and owners to prepare for and execute a sale or similar change in ownership. John is a specialist in creating roadmaps for business owners anticipating a transition. John shares from his experience helping parents transfer ownership to the next generation, owners sell to key employees, businesses establish an Employee Stock Option Plan, partners buy in or sell out, orchestrate outside sales transactions, and sellers create long-term exit plans. John partners with business owners to define success, develop specific goals, and establish a plan of action to achieve them. He shares his experience creating lasting value for clients with solutions to business challenges and his deep understanding of the complexities, unknowns, and pressures of selling a business. A serial entrepreneur, John understands the day-to-day challenges of running a business. He’s founded and owned large and small companies with 1-50 employees.
