Enterprise Value Optimization (EVO)
EVO isn’t just about exit planning, it’s about creating more value today.
We work with owners to strengthen the financial and operational backbone of their companies, so the business is easier to run, more profitable, and far less stressful. Imagine stepping back from the daily grind while knowing your company can still perform and grow without you. That’s the power of optimization.
If you’re ready to take your business—and your options—to the next level, the EVO program gives you a proven roadmap to do it. Whether you’re thinking about selling, passing the torch, or simply reducing the stress of ownership, it’s ideal for owners navigating one of these pivotal moments in their business
1. Owners contemplating a sale within the next 5 years
2. Owners contemplating a generational transfer within the next 5 years
3. Owners looking to improve the profitability and scalability of their business
4. Owners who feel like their business is running them, has become a weight around their neck, and are ready to take back control and the freedom that comes with it.
At Sabre, we understand that owners, buyers, lenders, and investors look for the same things: profitability, reliable financial reporting, consistent cash flow, strong systems, and a business that isn’t dependent on one person. With the benefit of our EVO program, you build those strengths today, creating a business that is easier to run, more rewarding to own, and far more attractive to buyers, lenders, and investors. By strengthening your financial reporting, cash flow consistency, and operational systems now, you gain both freedom in the present and leverage for the future. The payoff is a company that not only reduces stress and dependency on you but also commands higher valuations and stronger deal terms whenever you decide to exit, whether that’s soon, years from now, or not at all.
Our EVO services focus on what drives value most:
- Profitability and revenue growth improvements
- Financial projections and cash flow optimization
- Improving financial systems and processes
- Business valuations and ongoing performance tracking
- Clean, accurate financial statements and transparent reporting
- Improved operational performance and execution
- Reducing owner dependency
- Documentation of standard operating procedures (SOPs)
- Guidance to reduce key-person risk and strengthen your management team
- Other areas may include: sales process improvement or training; marketing; brand strategy; human resources; data analytics; and cybersecurity
EVO is about more than just the numbers and processes — it’s about freedom and peace of mind. When your business can operate without relying on you every day, you reduce stress, regain valuable time, and unlock real options for the future. You may choose to keep building, pursue acquisitions, or prepare for an exit in one, three, or seven years. Whatever direction you take, your company will be stronger, leaner, and ready for what’s next — and you’ll have the confidence to move forward knowing the business is built to thrive with or without you.
We believe value creation should guide everything a business owner does. Enterprise Value Optimization isn’t just about preparing for a sale, it’s about preparing for long-lasting success. That means more freedom for you, more confidence for your stakeholders, and more resilience for your business.
In short: EVO helps you take control of your future. Whether you’re planning to sell tomorrow, five years from now, or never, optimizing enterprise value gives you options — and peace of mind that your business is built to thrive in the long run.
