About Kandem

Our Mission

To transform all successful companies into significant companies.

____________________


Business owners generally have 70-80% of their net worth wrapped up in their business, yet only about 20% of all businesses put on the market result in a sale - wth 50% of those "successful" transactions being sold with concessions (e.g., for less than the business owner's targeted price).  


For those business owners who are lucky enough to be among the 20% who successfully sell their business, 76% have "profound regret" within 1-year of selling their company because they either sold it for a price less than they needed to maintain their existing profile and/or they didn't have a plan for the next phase of their life. 


Protect your largest asset (your business) by transforming it from a successful company into a significant business, which is one that is:

  1. valuable (having an enterprise value  that minimally satisfies your calculated future financial needs); 
  2. transferable (designed to run efficiently without your constant, direct involvement);
  3. ready (transferable at any time); and 
  4. attractive (appealing to potential buyers because of strong human, structural, customer and culture capital)


Start proactively preparing today!

Step 1: Identify

Identify how your business compares to similarly sized best-in-class businesses and then utilizing the risks/opportunities identified, develop a plan to transform your successful business into a significant business.

Calculate Business Value

Industry best practices require owners to calculate their business's enterprise value at least annually. The result from this foundational step should drive every future decision, so it's paramount that it is always accurate to ensure the strategic plans dependent on it are correctly aligned.

Risk & Opportunity Audit

Before a business owner should consider investing resources into growing their business and building their enterprise value, best practices require them first to conduct a full risk/opportunity audit to identify and prioritize (a) cracks in their business's foundation; (b) skeletons in their closet; and (c) potential red flags which would either (i) make their business unsellable; or alternatively (ii) result in an insultingly low offer. 

Wealth Gap Assessment

With 70-80% of most business owners' net worth tethered their company, and only 5% of business owners happy with the net results of the sale of their business, business owners use this assessment to calculate the minimum value they would need to sell their company to be able sustain their desired lifestyle after exiting their business. 

Value Gap Assessment

For those business owners who want to calculate the difference between their company's current business value (e.g., Enterprise Value) and the business's potential business valuation if they were to perform at best-in-class levels in relation to EBITDA.

Profit Gap Assessment

Calculate the difference between a business's current profitability and the potential profitability it could achieve when operating at a best-in-class level.


Step 2: Protect

Prepare your business to have a solid foundation we will be able to build on later by eliminating or reducing your identified risks.

Proactive Due Diligence

With 50% of buyer's rescinding their offers/LOIs during the due diligence phase, why not proactively run through a due diligence practice well in advance of an actual due diligence so you can identify all potential deal-killing risks and then still have time to resolve them or, at a minimum, develop a plan to eliminate or reduce their potential perceived risk by a future buyer. 

Cash Flow Management Improvement Strategy

Run your company utilizing proven cash flow allocations strategies based on your business's respective tiered Targeted Allocation Percentages (TAPs), utilizing different accounts for at least:

  • Profit
  • Owner's Pay
  • Tax
  • Operating Expenses (OpEx)


Step 3: Build

Now that you've created a solid foundation, it's time to start focusing on building your business' enterprise value

Value Growth Acceleration

Transform your successful company into a significant business by strategically prioritizing, targeting and completing focused value growth projects. 


Step 4: Sell

Now that you've created a Significant Company, it's time to prepare to sift through unsolicited or solicited offers to purchase your business
