Owner Manager Program — Exit & Sale Pathway
Exit Your Business
Right. On Your Terms
Most business owners leave 20–40% of value on the table when they sell — because they weren’t prepared. The Owner Manager Program gives you the clarity, strategy, and structure to exit well, when you’re ready.

Does any of this sound familiar?
If you’re thinking about selling or exiting your business — even if it’s 2–5 years away — these are the thoughts that keep owners up at night. OMP was built to answer every single one of them.
- I don't know what my business is actually worth — or what a buyer would really pay.
- The business can't run without me — and I know that kills the sale price.
- I have no idea how to find the right buyer or run a sale process without losing customers and staff.
- My accountant and lawyer give me conflicting advice — I need someone who's actually done it.
- I'm worried about being trapped in an earn-out after I sell. I want a clean exit.
- I don't know whether to sell to a trade buyer, private equity, or pass it to family.
- I'm scared of what I'll do after I sell. The business is my identity.
- I want to exit in the next 3–5 years but have no roadmap to get there.
“As owners of businesses we all know where we want to be, but we don’t always know how we’re going to get there. OMP has given me clarity. Has given me answers to all my questions around how to get to where we need to go.”
Glen Grohn | JAC Civil | OMP '18 Alumni
What OMP Gives You on the Path to Exit
Over five months of immersive, residential sessions, you’ll work through every dimension of preparing for a successful exit — with experienced mentors and a cohort of peers navigating the same journey.
01
Know Your True Value
Understand exactly what drives — and destroys — your business valuation. Learn how buyers think, what multiples are realistic for your sector, and what you need to fix before going to market.
02
Reduce Owner Dependency
The single biggest factor that depresses sale price is a business that can’t run without you. OMP gives you the tools to build genuine management depth and documented systems buyers pay a premium for.
03
Decide: Sell, Succession or Hold
A sale isn’t always the right answer. OMP helps you rigorously evaluate all your options — trade sale, PE, MBO, family succession, or structured growth before exit.
04
Prepare the Business for Sale
Clean up financials. Fix customer concentration. Tighten contracts. Address the issues that kill deals in due diligence. Leave with a concrete 12–36 month exit preparation plan.
05
Navigate the Sale Process
Understand how a professional sale process runs — from information memorandums and buyer shortlisting to negotiations, deal structure, and closing. Know what advisors to use.
06
Plan Your Life After Exit
Many owners struggle more with the ‘what next’ than the sale itself. OMP helps you build a clear, energising vision for the chapter after the business — so you exit with purpose.
Thinking about selling in the next 3–5 years? The preparation starts now.
Your Exit Journey Through OMP
Five months. Five immersive 3-day residential blocks. A clear path from uncertainty to exit-ready.
01
Clarity & Direction
Where are you now, where do you want to be, and what does a successful exit look like for you? We start with brutal honesty about your business and your goals.
02
Value & Readiness
Deep-dive into what your business is worth today, what’s holding value back, and what a buyer would find in due diligence. Build your value-maximisation plan.
03
Structure & Options
Evaluate your exit options objectively. Understand deal structures, tax implications, earn-outs, and how to protect yourself through a transaction.
04
Execute & Exit Well
Build the exit roadmap — the exact steps, timeline, advisors, and milestones you need to execute a successful, premium-value sale on your terms.
