Exit Preparation · Trades & Construction · Alberta

You built it.
Now sell it right.

Most trades owners leave money on the table when they sell. Not because the business is bad. Because it was never prepared. Anthill Advisory fixes that.

The Problem

Buyers see things your accountant never mentioned.

You have spent years building a business that works. But when a buyer looks at it, they are looking for something different. They want a business that runs without you, documented processes, clean numbers, and no surprises.


Most owners only find out what buyers want after they are already in a deal. By then it is too late to fix it without cost.



See How We Prepare You
01
Key-Person Dependency

If the business depends on you to function, buyers discount heavily or walk away entirely.

02
No Documented Processes

Buyers cannot pay for what they cannot verify. Undocumented operations destroy value at the table.

03
Financial Presentation

Your books may be accurate but they are not telling the right story. Buyers need a proper recast.

04
Customer Concentration

One or two clients making up most of your revenue is a red flag in every deal. Buyers price it in.

Services

Four ways to work together.

Start with an assessment. Build from there. Every engagement is scoped after a conversation.

01
Exit Readiness Assessment

A structured audit across five areas. Financials, operations, people, documentation, and market position. Scored report and prioritized action plan.

Why It Matters

This is not advice from someone who read a book about it.

Anthill Advisory is run by Erica, Director of Operations and Integrator with 13 years leading businesses across the trades. She has managed operations through a sale from the inside.

She knows what buyers look at, what they push back on, and what kills deals at the last minute.
