Our Bulletproof Process

To Maximize Your Profits & Sell Your Business Story

Assess

step 1
ASSESS

First we begin by identifying your goals and assessing your current business story. Where are you now? What is your vision for the future? During our Discovery process, we learn what success looks like on your terms. Then we do a full review of every part of your business. This helps us assess your starting point so we can create a roadmap with concrete steps to the finish line.

Build

step 2
BUILD

Once we understand your business story, we help you build it even better. Better starts with more profit. We work together to create a strategic plan to leverage key areas that enhance the story of your extraordinary business. Average businesses might sell for average multiples...but we want your profits and your sale price to be extraordinary!

Prove

step 3
PROVE

Then we prove that story so it can survive the crushing weight of due diligence. We make sure you have documentation and processes in place as evidence to
validate the
extraordinary value of your business, providing you with the confidence and expertise to navigate the complex landscape of an upcoming M&A sale.

Sell Badge

step 4
SELL

Finally, we help you sell your business story for the best possible outcome. When the time comes to put your baby on the market, we stand by you every step of the way, facilitating the process to achieve the best possible outcome for you, your business, and your relationships. Along the way, we equip you with the tools and strategies necessary to prepare for a seamless and lucrative transition.

We’re here to support you with the strategy AND roadmap that prepares you, your family, and your business for all possibilities.

Hi, I’m Randy

JD, CFP®

CEO of Long Business Advisors, LLC, creator of the Bulletproof Exit Process and author of two books, The Braveheart Exit: 7 Steps to Creating Your Family Business Legacy and Bulletproof Your Exit.

Entrepreneurship has been in my blood since I was a little boy. After graduating from law school in 1989, I opened my own law practice and my own investment firm, separate businesses but located right next to each other.

In 2011 I transitioned my Exit Planning work into a consulting company. Two years later, my daughter Ellen joined me and we’ve been working as partners ever since.

It’s been the best part of my career. We’ve had the privilege of helping business owners successfully exit their companies and leave successful family legacies, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Hi, I’m Ellen

MBA, CFP®

Winner of the Women to Watch award, a TEDx speaker, graduate of the Leadership Wilmington Class of 2013, and course creator for WealthFit, Inc.

Ever since I was 13 years old, I’ve only wanted to do one thing—help entrepreneurs change the world. It’s been an amazing journey helping visionaries tackle their challenges, realize their dreams, and change the world around them.

In 2013 I joined my father in his consultancy firm to help entrepreneurs Build, Prove, and Sell their extraordinary businesses for maximum profit. It’s been a wild ride and I can’t imagine doing anything else!
