About Simon Bedard

Are you a business owner? If so, your company is probably one of your largest assets. Whether you’re planning to exit your business soon or in 5-10 years, the reality is that we will all exit our business one day. And when that happens, you deserve to be rewarded for your sacrifice and investment. Unfortunately, many business owners don't achieve this. Studies show that- around 70% of business owners will exit in the next 5 years - only 10% have any form of exit strategy - only 30% of companies actually sell, once they go to market We don't want you to be one of these failed statistics. MY GOAL: to help entrepreneurs build valuable businesses that are saleable. Whether you want to sell your business or not, a company that is saleable will grow faster, be more profitable, and be a lot more enjoyable to run. Through Exit Advisory Group and our sister brand, Buy Grow Sell, I'm dedicated to sharing strategies that help entrepreneurs achieve their goals and maximize rewards during transitions. HOW WE HELP: At Exit Advisory Group, we specialise in assisting business owners with these questions- What’s the value of my company- What’s the right structure, strategy, and systems to scale my business- How do I sell my business- How do I develop a robust succession and exit plan? OUR SERVICES: Business Valuation & Value Building: Calculating what your business is worth and tailoring growth strategies to your specific goals. Business Sales: Our team facilitates business transactions on a daily basis. Exit & Succession Planning: Gain clarity around your options when exiting your business.
