Our guest for this #PoisedforExit episode is Sean Hutchinson, partner of Ready For Next, a family of companies that caters to successful business transition. 

Ready For Next Academy provides education and peer groups for advisors and owners to learn how to enhance enterprise value and a process to prepare for a future exit. 

Ready For Next Advisors provides individual consulting and group advisory services to business owners with a focus on growth and value enhancement.

Ready For Next Cities serves smaller communities at risk of losing their economic health and vitality due to owners not exiting well. It provides special education and advisory for communities and their business owners who may not have access to it otherwise. 

Sean's extensive business ownership and leadership background have certainly set him up to do the important work that Ready For Next engages in. Helping hundreds of owners at a time vs one at a time will impact more owners sooner, securing a brighter future for all stakeholders of privately held business. 

There are three motivators that drive each client engagement at RFN, and they are Clarity, Liquidity, and Legacy. Finding clarity comes first before all else, and working with an advisor to find it is essential. Liquidity and Legacy vary in importance from owner to owner. Once they've been prioritized an owner and their advisors can begin down a productive path to a successful transition.
