Please understand the odds of creating a remarkable business, a business that defines and dominates its sector and sells out for a premium price are stacked against you.
Here are some facts, According to Mergers & Acquisitions magazine there were 5568 US deals in 2010 with a value of $10m or more. The total number of US firms from the 2008 US Census data is around 27.3 million. There are only around 15,000 public companies and so most of the 27.3m are private companies. Therefore if you are an owner of a private company the probability of selling out for $10m or above is 1 in 6000!
The Value Gap
These facts then lead us to the Value Gap. That is the difference between the value TODAY and the necessary FUTURE value to allow you to retire and live off the proceeds. Let’s say you need $400k per year and given say an average return on your proceeds of 7% and after allowing for taxes and fees, the likely FUTURE value is about $10m.
We want to help you close that gap.
We believe the odds can be beaten, changed dramatically in your favour by the insertion of Magic Years thinking. This requires you as the owner to think big. To think like the Big Boys!
