Kelly Value Enhancement Program (VEP)

Selling your business is a major decision, and timing matters. While you may feel ready to go to market, the Kelly Estimate of Value (EOV) often uncovers opportunities that could increase buyer interest and/or raise your sale price. That’s where the Value Enhancement Program comes in.

What Is VEP?

Kelly’s VEP is a customized, up-to-one-year business improvement program designed to strengthen your company’s marketability and increase its value—often by 20% or more. Think of it as an accelerated exit planning process focused on the factors that matter most to buyers.

How It Works?

  • Comprehensive Assessment: We start with your EOV findings and identify key areas for improvement.
  • Customized Action Plan: A roadmap tailored to your business goals and timeline.
  • Hands-On Guidance: Our team works with you to implement changes that drive measurable results.

Key Focus Areas

  • Applying the 80/20 Rule: Prioritize improvements that deliver the biggest impact on value.
  • Financial Optimization: Normalize earnings, improve cash flow, and strengthen reporting.
  • Strategic Planning: Refine product offerings, pricing strategies, inventory management, sales channels, etc.
  • Management Development: Address leadership gaps and build a stronger team.
  • Marketing Presence: Enhance branding, digital visibility, and customer engagement.
  • Risk Reduction: Minimize customer concentration, improve contracts, and reduce operational risks.

Why It Matters

Buyers pay premiums for businesses that demonstrate stability, scalability, and strong financial performance. By investing in value enhancement now, you position your business for a faster sale, higher price, and smoother transition.

  • “I tried selling my business on my own, and it didn’t work. Kelly made the process easier and more strategic. Before going to market, they guided us on what needed to be done, including restructuring our books so our financials told the right story. That clarity made a huge difference for buyers. With Kelly’s integrity, effort, and expertise, we navigated multiple offers and closed the deal successfully.” David Anderson, MetalMan Work Gear
