A business continuity plan built around the one risk nobody wants to name: you.

The Founder Exit Plan gives your business a structured path away from founder dependency - whether you're planning to step back next year or just want to know the business can survive without you tomorrow.

Sound familiar?

The pattern we see over and over

There's no written plan for what happens if you're suddenly unavailable.

Your management team can run day-to-day, but not the big decisions.

Investors or buyers keep asking about "key person risk" and you don't have an answer.

You've thought about stepping back but have no structured way to start.

The framework

Business Continuity + Succession Framework

We map every function that currently routes through you, rank it by risk and urgency, then build a phased succession path - covering decision authority, client relationships, financial oversight, and crisis protocols.

The output is a business that keeps performing whether you're in the office or not, backed by a written plan rather than a hope that your team will figure it out.

We finish by stress testing the plan against real scenarios - a two-week absence, a sudden departure - and fixing the gaps before they're live.

How it runs

Discovery and risk mapping

We interview you and your leadership team to map every decision, relationship, and process that currently depends on you personally.

Succession design

We design who takes over what, in what order, and under what conditions - covering both planned and emergency scenarios.

Documentation and authority transfer

We document decision rights, thresholds, and protocols so your team knows exactly what they can decide without you.

Stress test

We run the plan against real scenarios - a two-week absence, a sudden departure - and fix the gaps before they're live.

What you get

✓Full key-person risk map across the business

✓Phased succession and continuity plan

✓Decision authority and escalation framework

✓Emergency protocol document

✓Leadership readiness assessment

✓90-day implementation roadmap

What affects the cost?

Every engagement is scoped to your situation - not a fixed menu price. We quote after a 30-minute discovery call, never before. Three things shape the investment:

Team size

More leaders and functions to map means more discovery time.

Documentation maturity

Businesses with little existing documentation need more build-from-scratch work.

Urgency

A near-term exit or transition timeline shapes how compressed the plan needs to be.

The discovery call is free and comes with no obligation. We will tell you on the call whether this engagement is right for your situation - and give you a fixed quote before any work begins.

Frequently asked questions

No. Most clients aren't exiting at all - they want the option to step back, travel, or focus elsewhere without the business stalling.

The audit maps and scores the risk. The Exit Plan goes further and builds the actual succession and continuity plan to fix it.

We work with your existing team. The goal is transferring authority and knowledge to the people already there, not replacing them.
