Financials
Clean, accrual-basis books, normalized EBITDA with add-backs that hold up, working capital analysis, and a sell-side quality of earnings review, so nothing surprises the buyer.
Exit Planning & M&A Readiness
Built to sell. Ready when you are.
Most owners spend 20 or 30 years building a company and a few months getting it ready to sell. Buyers can tell. Velinor Group prepares your business long before a broker or buyer shows up, so the price you are offered is the price you actually close at.

Sellable
You are more sellable than you think.
Many owners assume no one would buy their business. It is too small, too dependent on them, too niche, or the books are a mess. So they wait, and some simply close the doors.
Almost all of that is fixable. We find what a buyer will question, fix it before they see it, and build the story around what makes your company valuable.
Readiness
What we get ready.
Tax
Entity review, deal structure (asset vs. stock sale), state tax exposure, and planning to keep more of what you sell for.
Legal
Contracts, leases, IP, licenses, corporate records, and change-of-control clauses cleaned up. Litigation and compliance risks found early, not in diligence.
People & HR
Worker classification, handbooks, payroll and benefits compliance, key-employee retention, and an org chart that proves the business runs without you.
Operations
Documented processes, reduced customer concentration, and systems a new owner can take over on day one.
Your Story
A clear narrative of what you built and where it can go, ready for the broker's offering memorandum and the buyer meeting.
The Process
How it works.
Diagnose.
A confidential exit readiness review. What your business is worth today, what a buyer will question, and what it could be worth.
Clean up.
We fix the books, structure, contracts, and HR gaps. Usually 6 to 18 months, depending on where you start.
Package.
Organized data room, completed quality of earnings, financial model, and narrative. Your broker gets a business that is easy to take to market.
Stand behind it.
During diligence, our CFO, tax, legal, and HR specialists answer buyer questions directly. Issues get resolved in days and the deal keeps its momentum.
Our Role
Where we fit.
More than half of business owners plan to exit within the next five years (Raymond James, 2025). Most do not have a team ready for it. Velinor Group is that team.
We are not your broker. We are the team that makes your broker's job easy. They find buyers and run the process. We make sure everything holds up when buyers look under the hood.
Whether your exit is three years away or ten, the work that raises your price also makes the business better to own today.
