Stephanie Hayes

Business and Exit Strategist

Stephanie Hayes is a business strategist for established business owners who have built a viable, profitable business — yet feel stagnant, uninspired and maybe even a little directionless. Her clients are looking for ways to build wealth rather than just income, get their business working harder for them, and ultimately, position themselves for a successful exit.

Most business owners don’t know that with a few smart adjustments, they can create a plan that leaves them in a position of wealth and wellbeing by leveraging the assets they have already created inside their business (even if it’s service-based).

After 25 years as a business consultant, mentoring small businesses and building startups, Stephanie recognized that many entrepreneurs don’t see their businesses as having much value other than the revenue they generate. They tend to think “exits” are for tech startup founders and venture capital firms.

She knew that most small businesses had already created assets inside their businesses that had substantial value, and with a little help, could be leveraged to create a business model that would set them up for an eventual exit, creating a path to wealth based entirely on what they had already built.
