Guiding
Ambitious CEOs
as you fund, scale and sell your business
As CEO, you’re expected to deliver a major shift in valuation. The truth is that 80% of businesses who enter a sale process fail to sell (Forbes) – demonstrating that the majority of CEOs do not achieve those expectations.
These traditional results are created by traditional corporate finance. It just doesn’t have to be this way.
We want you to be:
-
the champion of your success, leading your business to a significantly enhanced valuation above benchmark
-
a leader who creatively transforms the business into a functionally strong, amazing place of work that attracts the best industry talent and deploys capital efficiently
-
a leader who effects change, generates trusting, collaborative relationships with stakeholders – and has fun on the challenging journey.

Steve came to Bean Partners looking to sell his business for a fair value to the right buyer who would take care of his team. He had been told his business could be sold at a multiple between a typical range of 8-12x EBITDA, Bean Partners sold it for a multiple of 21x EBITDA.
“Despite the words of warnings from friends, CEO colleagues and other advisors, about the perils and stresses of the process - those stresses never materialised. I honestly believe that this is due to the way Bean integrated themselves into the process, proactively navigating me and taking real ownership of all key aspects.”
