Exit Planning Services
Blue Sky was started for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. Having previously sold 4 businesses, we created Blue Sky to address the pain points we experienced when scaling our businesses and ultimately selling them.
Exit Planning should be an integral part of every business owner’s strategic planning. Whether you plan to have a family member succeed you or sell to your employees or to a third party, having a solid exit plan in place will ensure a smooth transition and protect your legacy.
An Exit Plan also protects you, your family, and your business from the unexpected: illness, incapacitation, death, or an unsolicited offer.
Most owners exit unprepared — and leave money, time, and legacy on the table.
Whether the exit is planned (family, employees, third party) or forced (illness, an unsolicited offer, a market shift), the outcome is decided years before the closing table.

Our signature playbook. Modular by design — you decide which phase to tackle first and how to proceed after each. You’re always in control.

Output · A prioritized roadmap built on real findings
Implementing Value Creation
Execute the recommendations from Phase B using the right tools for each focus area, and prepare your business for buyer due diligence.
Focus · Maximize value before you go to market
Market Preparedness & Go-To-Market
At this critical juncture, we assess every possible exit strategy with you — so you can make an informed decision about how you want to exit your business.
Decision · Exit on your terms, fully prepared
Why do we start with FMV?
Just as every parent believes their baby is the most beautiful, smartest, and most talented, most business owners overvalue their business and what it is worth to potential buyers.
The Fair Market Value (FMV) is a key metric in determining what your business is actually worth to a potential buyer.
At the conclusion of this phase, you can elect to stop with the information you have or move on to Phase 2.
