For one whole day.
We provide a relaxing & revealing valuation & growth workshop, all in one day in Davenport, Iowa.
3 Paths
If you’re a successful business owner, there are three paths before you.
You can stay on the path that made your business the success it is today.
Honestly, there is not a lot we could do for you, and we wish you the best. Keep us in mind if your situation changes. Every one of our clients know more about their businesses than we do.
You can go to market now.
Funny story, two brothers working in the industrial services together for 25 years, never talked about what was coming next. One day, one brother says to the other, “I’m really sick of this, have you ever thought about getting out?”
Thirty days later they were booking flights to Hawaii.
That’s an anecdote. In most cases a successful business transfer will take much longer. The point being, if you’re convinced the time to get out is now, we have the necessary resources at our fingertips.
You can strategically build the value of your business to make it most attractive to buyers in a few years.
We’ve all seen lists of the best and worst improvements you can make to your home before you put it on the market. There is a list like that for businesses and we know it intimately.
It’s called Value Builder. Seeing how well your business scores is complimentary at MarigoldResources.com.
That free report will indicate what multiplier of your pre- tax income buyers are likely to offer for your business today, and what drivers need improving to grow that value tomorrow.

How We Fly
Our Business Practices
Our Day in Davenport is an exclusive, private and confidential valuation & growth workshop with Chris Barnard & Todd McGreevy.
Each business owner is encouraged to bring their spouse, key management and/or trusted advisor.
Once completed, we are here for as much or as little as you require.
This includes coaching a business owner to increase value all the way to a successful exit.
Most successful engagements occur when an owner's personal readiness to exit aligns with a business' market valuation.
Practicing good business in our book includes
non- disclosure agreements, an expectation of confidentiality and plain language, signed agreements.
Your business exit strategy is one of the most important considerations in your life.
Getting out of your office for an exclusive valuation and growth workshop for one whole day is the most important next step to find your exit strategy.
