When an Owner agrees to work with WarrenBDC they get a strategic partner working as hard as they are to prepare the business and the Owner for sale or transition.  Some Owners want to go straight into the selling process. Others require, we help increase their value pre sale via better Operations, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Human Resources. and Capital. 

Our goal is to help our clients figure out personally and professionally where they want to go and to work with them to get there. With as little frustration and as much joy as possible.  When the company and the Owner are ready we, as consultants, introduce potential Buyers and advise on the sale/transition of the Owners' business. Ideally for more than it is valued at today.

And finally, we make sure the Owners post transition life is full and rewarding while protecting their wealth and legacy to benefit future generations of their family. It all starts with a conversation.

Some Recent Emails We Received

"I am in the very early stages of planning a transition out of my current business. I am still considering a few options ranging from keeping the business and remaining actively involved in the management, to developing a general manager and stepping away from the day to day operation to outright selling the business. I am not sure how to best proceed.  Do you have any suggestions?  Thanks."
"I retired from my construction business a year ago and left it to be run by 2 long time employees. It has not turned out well at all and I am seriously considering selling. I have been following your e-mails and your approach seems very practical and makes sense. I am interested in talking to you about your company and the way you help owners sell."
