Getting To The Finish Line: 10 Key Insights Every Business Owner Must Know To Select Your ‘Exit Dream Team’
For Business Owners Who Want To Exit Their Business With All The Rewards And Freedom They Deserve
Written by Keith MacKenzie and Mike Lenz of Chinook Business Advisory, this book unpacks the 10 must-know insights that can help you prepare for a smoother, smarter exit — and build the right team to guide you there.
Here’s What You’ll Take Away
You’ll learn:
How to build your ideal exit “dream team” — and why the people around you matter more than perfect timing
The key drivers of business valuation — and the quiet killers that drag it down
How to reduce owner dependency so buyers see a thriving future without you
Why clear, consistent financials get stronger offers (and fewer headaches)
The biggest mistakes owners make before selling — and how to sidestep them
The often-missed steps that can quietly add major value over time
Why We’re Giving It Away
So… Why Are We Just Giving This Book Away…?
Because we believe informed business owners make better decisions — for their companies, their teams, and their families.
Whether you’re planning to sell next year or you’re just starting to think about the long game, Getting to the Finish Line will help make the whole process clearer and a lot less overwhelming.
If it helps you:
Strengthen your business
Avoid costly missteps
Or just think more like a future seller…
Then it’s already done what we hoped it would.
