Evergreen VaultMore Freedom & Control for the Owner

No exit or long-term plan

Many business owners feel trapped because their company relies entirely on them to function. Without a clear plan to sell or step away, they possess a job rather than an asset, risking burnout and leaving huge potential profits on the table.

Opportunity Score

Requires some strategic thinking, which bumps the difficulty slightly, but the income potential is massive because you are directly influencing the owner's biggest financial event.

Market Motivation

The psychology of the buyer

Because a business you can't sell is just a stressful job.

Every owner eventually wants out—whether through retirement or selling for a lump sum. Without a plan, they risk walking away with nothing for their years of hard work. They invest in this to secure their financial future and freedom.

Three Ways to Monetize

Proven entry points for this market.

Quick Win

Exit Readiness Checklist

A straightforward assessment tool that helps owners score their business on the key factors buyers look for.

$27 - $47

Low barrier to entry; helps owners instantly see where their gaps are.

Core Asset

The Sell-Ready SOP Kit

A comprehensive system of templates and guides to document operations, organize financials, and structure the business for a future sale.

$97 - $297

High perceived value because it saves them hundreds of hours of organization.

High Ticket

Exit Strategy Roadmap

A consultative service where you audit their business valuation and create a 12-month plan to increase it before they sell.

$2,000 - $10,000+

Extremely high value; owners will pay a premium to add zeros to their final exit price.

Execution Plan

Sell peace of mind.

Start by selling a 'Due Diligence Organization Kit' for $47—a folder structure and checklist for documents a buyer would ask for. It's an easy first step for an overwhelmed owner. Then, upsell them into helping document the processes (SOPs) that are missing from that kit.
