80% of SMEs Don’t Know How to Exit
Their Business
What is affecting your
business growth?
-
Business relies too heavily on you (the owner)
Buyers worry when a founder is indispensable. A company that can’t run without its owner is difficult to sell at a good price.
-
Financial records are unclear
Disorganized financial statements make it hard for buyers to gauge performance and trust your numbers. In fact, clean, accurate financials are a basic requirement to value a business properly.
-
No growth story or differentiation.
If you’ve been using the same old business model and competing only on price, your company may appear stagnant or commoditized. Buyers pay a premium for businesses with unique value propositions or recurring revenue streams – a robust business model is worth far more than a one-off sales model.
-
Overlooked operational risks
You want a business that’s easy to take over: strong systems, diversified customer base, and no hidden liabilities. Having this will make your business easier to buy and harder for a buyer to walk away from.
-
Hidden Value / Undervalued Intangible Assets
You’ve spent years building proprietary models, customer insights, trade secrets, and valuable datasets—yet they’re often unrecognised in a sale. Most owners don’t package or leverage these intangible assets to maximise value.
-
Unrealistic exit plan (or none at all)
Lack of planning often leads owners to sell for much less than their business is worth – or not sell at all. Proper exit planning can maximize the value and increase the success rate of exit.

Our Approach :
Step-by-Step to an Optimal Exit
We follow a structured, end-to-end process to prepare your company for sale. Our approach is holistic – covering strategic, financial, operational, and human factors – yet tailored to your specific business. Below is a summary of how we work with you
01.Business Diagnostic & Exit Assessment
- We begin with a deep dive into your business to evaluate its current state and readiness for exit. Think of this like a comprehensive health check-up for your company. We identify your existing business drivers, challenges, strengths, and weaknesses, and assess any risks or “red flags” that could affect a sale. This includes reviewing your financial health, organizational structure, products/services, customer base, and market position. We’ll also clarify your personal and business exit goals. Using these insights, our consultants perform an exit readiness assessment to determine what changes are needed and which exit route best fits your situation.
02.Market Research & Positioning Strategy
- Next, we analyze the external environment to position your business optimally. We conduct market and industry research – looking at your industry’s trends, the competitive landscape, consumers dynamics. We evaluate where your company stands relative to market benchmarks. This phase may include a valuation baseline for your company under current conditions. We then refine your value proposition and growth story to make it compelling from a buyer’s perspective.
03.Business Enhancement & Preparation:
- Business Model Optimization: Refine or pivot your business model for sustainability and scalability. Develop more recurring revenue streams or streamline your product mix to focus on high-margin offerings. A stronger model not only boosts valuation but also reassures buyers of future earnings stability.
- Financial Cleanup & Audit: Guidance on organizing your accounting records, improving cash flow management, and normalizing your statements to reflect true profitability. Develop a financial forecast model to show buyers your projected performance.
- Operational Improvements: Implement process improvements and document standard operating procedures. Efficient, well-documented operations make your business more transferable. Digitalise to increase productivity and reduce dependency on individual employees.
- Corporate Structure & Compliance: Review your corporate structure (legal entity setup, shareholding, contracts, etc.) and advise on optimizations. Simplifying complex structures, resolving outstanding legal/ compliance issues, and ensuring intellectual property is properly documented to increase its intangible value.
- Risk Management: We conduct a thorough risk assessment (financial, operational, market risks) and help you address and de-risking the business to the extent possible. The fewer uncertainties a buyer sees, the higher the price and the smoother the sale..
04.Sales & Negotiation Support:
- Buyer Identification & Outreach: Leveraging our network and market research, we can advise on finding and approaching suitable buyers or investors. With experience across various industries, we know what different buyers look for and can help position your business to the right audience.
- Presentation & Data Room: We assist in preparing all the necessary documentation for potential buyers. This includes financial data (historical and forecast), operational documents, customer/supplier info, etc. By compiling complete and accurate records, we give buyers greater assurance about your company’s transparency and integrity.
- Valuation and Deal Structuring: Our team will revisit your valuation after the implementation, and justify your asking price with solid data. We also advise on optimal deal structures (e.g. upfront vs. earn-out mix, retaining key staff, etc.) that align with your goals.
- Negotiation Support: When talks start with a buyer, we act as your behind-the-scenes coach and advisor. Drawing on deep deal experience, we guide and negotiate the critical terms eg price, earn-outs, warranties, non-compete, indemnities, so you maximise value and protect your interests.

Atelier Tang
Business Strategy Development
We helped Atelier Tang with market research and customer segmentation to further define their strategic plans for business growth and expansion. Furthermore, we guided them with the development of short and long-term strategies, along with a Business Continuity Plan. Processes were also set up to monitor if the targets set for key processes and activities are met.
Customer Strategy
To boost customer experience, we assisted to identify their customer touchpoints and set up respective KPIs for each of them. In addition, we enhanced the flow of their customer complaint and feedback process after identifying existing issues. With our help, they are now more confident in the quality of service provided to clients.
Process Management
Another area we looked into was the reorganisation of their system for business operations. This led to higher accountability and transparency in the tasks handled by employees and also ensured that they will abide by the regulations.
- The duration to finalise a project after handover shortened to 1 month, instead of taking up 2 – 3 months.

When the Covid-19 pandemic landed on Singapore’s shores, and subsequently led to a Circuit Breaker, many businesses were badly hit. The management of Atelier Tang was worried and unsure of how to improve the company and minimise the pandemic’s impact on their business.

Common Misconceptions
It’s a myth that you only need help at the moment of sale. A broker’s job is typically to find buyers and facilitate the transaction, not to fix your business’s issues or increase its value. Without advance preparation, you might end up in the 70–80% of businesses that never find a buyer or selling at a lower valuation.
This is a common perception. Now, with government support like the EDG grant, the cost to you is significantly subsidized. More importantly, think of consulting as an investment, not an expense: the returns can be many multiples of the fee, in the form of a higher selling price and a faster, smoother deal. In fact, small businesses often need this help the most, because unlike large corporations, you may not have in-house specialists for strategy, finance, or M&A. We’ve designed our services specifically to be accessible and valuable to SMEs. Everything is right-sized to your scale – we won’t burden you with corporate jargon or unnecessary processes.
From the start, we will assess and only take on projects where we truly believe we can add value and see a path to a successful exit. We establish clear milestones and performance indicators (e.g. revenue or margin improvements, risk reductions) during the engagement, so you’ll see progress along the way. And remember, even if market conditions delay your sale, the improvements we implement are strengthening your business regardless – you’ll be more profitable, efficient, and resilient, which is never a wasted effort. Our past clients have not only achieved exits but also state that their companies were more profitable and better run after the consultancy.
Majority of local SMEs will receive up to 50% funding through EDG.
