TRACK TWO
Growth and Exit Readiness Advisory
Most engagements start with an honest look at whether - and how - a business can be made sellable, then move into the hands-on work of getting it there.
Tier 1 | 2-3 Weeks
Sellability Assessment
A diagnostic review of your financials, operations and market position, scored against what real buyers and their lenders underwrite - not what a rule-of-thumb multiple implies.
Sellability score and risk assessment
Buyer financing check
Prioritized roadmap
Tier 2 | 90 Days
Profitability Sprint
Weekly, hands-on work on the two or three highest - leverage margin issues - pricing, labor cost, customer mix, or overhead - before you invest further in exit prep that a thin P&L doesn’t support.
Margin & pricing analysis
Weekly working sessions
90 - day tollgate review
Tier 3 | 6-18 Months
Exit Readiness Engagement
Building the financial reporting, documented systems, executing roadmap activities, and owner - independence that survive a quality-of-earnings review - coordinated with your CPA, attorney and broker.
Clean, buyer ready financials
Key personnel risk reduction
QoE preparation
Tier 4 | Ongoing
Fractional Advisory Through Close
A seat at the table through LOI, diligence, and closing — with the buyer-side experience to know exactly what the other side is looking for, and where deals actually fall apart.
LOI & diligence support
Buyer-side negotiation view
Close-through-transaction support
TRACK THREE
Contract Work
Granite Ridge Advisors is available for contract and fractional engagements — or just fixed-scope projects. When an organization needs senior program leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire, we step in on an hourly, project, or retainer basis: interim program or PMO leadership, fractional COO or Operations Director coverage, or staff augmentation to scale a team through a critical initiative. Engagements are structured around what the organization actually needs — a few days a week through a transition, full-time coverage during a leadership gap, or specialized support for a single high-stakes program. A Statement of Work or Master Services Agreement defines scope, rate, and term before work begins.
