ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode, Jeff Klaumann speaks with Frank Williamson, Founder of Oaklyn Consulting, about why a profitable boutique professional services firm is not automatically a sellable one — and what founders must do to close the gap between strong financials and genuine buyer appeal. This episode is useful for founders of boutique professional service firms who are working on preparing for an exit, understanding what acquirers evaluate beyond revenue and margins, and identifying the operational and structural changes that make a firm attractive to the right buyer. Topics covered are why profitability and sellability are distinct conditions that require different actions to achieve, what sophisticated buyers actually look for when assessing a boutique professional services firm, and the most common sellability gaps founders discover — and how to close them before going to market.
