CoreValue CEO George Sandmann On How To Grow Your Business And Increase Enterprise Value (#025)

"We lose sight of the fact that we start companies to convert our sweat and treasure into valuable equity. One day we will sell to someone, so that we can fund our family's wealth goals." - George Sandmann

George is the CEO CoreValue Advisor Software. An attorney by training, George is an entrepreneur with almost 30 years experience starting and growing companies. George joined CoreValue Software in 2013, and in 2017 founded his current company, creating a complete business consulting system based on the CoreValue Software.

In addition to his work with CoreValue, George co-founded the Association for Enterprise Growth, served as Interim Executive Director of the International Growth & Exit Planning Association, and is co-authoring the 'Growth Consulting' curriculum for the Consultants' Training Institute.

This podcast is brought to you by the Deep Wealth Experience. In the world of mergers and acquisitions, 90% of deals fail. Of the successful deals, business owners leave millions of dollars on the deal table.

Who are we and how do we know? We're the 9-figure exit guys. We said "no" to a 7-figure offer and "yes" to a 9-figure offer two years later.  In the process we increased the value of our company 10X.

During our liquidity event journey, we created a 9-step preparation process. It's the quality and depth of your preparation that increases your business value.

After our 9-figure exit we committed ourselves to leveling the playing field. The Deep Wealth Experience helps you create a launch plan in 90-days. Our solution is resilient, relentless, and gets results. Enjoy the certainty that you'll capture the maximum value on your liquidity event.
