Exit Readiness

---

We rationalize fragmented SPVs, nominee holdings, and silent investor interests to ensure dealability. Includes restructuring leaseholds, management contracts, or real estate entities to prepare for asset or share sales, whether group-owned, franchised, or third-party managed.

We reclassify and align historical financials to IFRS/US GAAP standards, ensuring treatment of key accounts (e.g., FF&E reserves, loyalty program accruals, management fees) aligns with investor expectations. Audit readiness includes trail balance testing and external auditor coordination.

We assess executive bench strength, GM turnover, and departmental structure across operations, finance, and development. Equity or phantom stock plans are evaluated to align retained leadership with post-exit performance KPIs, whether in single-unit or multi-property platforms.

We evaluate shareholder agreements, reserved matters, and board composition—resolving legacy founder protections or passive investor blocks. Governance upgrades support institutional investor onboarding or trade buyer integration.

We build a curated virtual data room covering leases, land title, franchise agreements, operating statements, tech stack contracts, HR files, and historical capex logs. Indexing aligns with investor diligence pathways—accelerating deal velocity and minimizing red-flag escalations.

We benchmark key metrics like RevPAR, GOP margin, occupancy, AUV, COGS, and labor ratios across comparable concepts or asset classes. Upside is framed via menu engineering, rate yield optimization, digital guest engagement, and cost control levers.

We assess the transferability, termination clauses, and assignability of vendor contracts, franchise agreements, and loyalty program obligations. Particular focus is given to exclusivity terms, volume rebates, and non-compete provisions that may constrain buyer flexibility post-transaction.

We assess alignment with franchisor brand standards, jurisdictional operating permits, and technical certifications including food safety (HACCP), traceability protocols, labor code adherence, and statutory hygiene audits—ensuring operational legitimacy and risk visibility for investor-grade exit readiness.

We craft an investor-facing narrative tying together market positioning, real estate optionality, brand value, and digital maturity. Our story articulates organic and M&A-driven growth paths—anchored in metrics, benchmarking, and clearly defined levers for multiple expansion.
