Is it ready to run, sell, or pass on without you?
Request a Transition Readiness Review Or call directly: +1 (207) 300-6234For most Maine owners, the honest answer is no. The company runs because you do. The relationships, the judgment calls, the things only you know how to handle. That works right up until the day it has to work without you.
Maine has the oldest workforce in the country, and thousands of owners are heading toward retirement with no written plan for what comes next. When there is no plan, the business does not get sold. It gets closed, and the jobs go with it.
It does not have to end that way. But finding out where you stand is the part almost no one does in time.
It is a fixed-fee diagnostic that answers one question in plain English: is this business durable and transferable, or does it depend entirely on you?
Your lawyer and your financial advisor handle the deal, the tax, and the estate side. Almost no one handles the operational question underneath it. That is the gap we close. You come away knowing what is working, what puts the value at risk, and exactly what to fix first, whether you want to sell, hand it to family or your team, or simply stop being the one person who can never take a week off.
A structured review of how your business really runs, who and what it depends on, and how it would look to the next owner.
A plain-English roadmap of the gaps that most threaten your value and continuity, ranked by what actually matters.
Clear next steps you can take on your own, with senior, hands-on help available when you want it.
Maine Growth Advisors is led by Tyson Martin. He has spent his career inside companies of every size and shape, in executive and boardroom seats where continuity, risk, and "what happens when an owner walks away" actually gets decided.
That is the difference. Most owners facing a transition get handed to a specialist who has never carried a business themselves. You would be working with someone who has sat in those seats, is board-certified in the governance of exactly these questions, and has spent years advising CEOs, COOs, and boards on the unglamorous decisions that determine whether a company is worth buying or worth keeping.
"You have spent years building this. You deserve a straight answer about what it is worth and what it needs, in plain language that respects your time."
