The Exit Planning Institute's process for growing transferable business value while aligning personal and financial goals before an exit.
The Value Acceleration Process is the Exit Planning Institute's Value Acceleration Methodology. A Certified Exit Planning Advisor walks the owner through three gates: Discover, Prepare, and Decide.
Discover sets a baseline valuation and scores personal, financial, and business readiness. That work produces a Triggering Event and a prioritized action plan. Prepare runs the plan in 90-day sprints on two tracks at once: personal financial planning and business improvement. Decide, after each sprint, asks whether to keep building value or move toward an exit.
The work on the ground covers valuation, estate planning, income replacement, culture, financial cleanup, deal structure, and the owner's readiness to leave. The method treats personal, financial, and business goals as one plan, not three separate projects.
