RISR: Empowering the Business Owner's Most Trusted Advisor
RISR: Empowering the Business Owner's Most Trusted Advisor
We talked today with Jason Early, the Founder and CEO of RISR, a tool used by advisors to business owners looking to understand the value of their companies and what they can do to maximize a future exit. Jason is not new to the M&A space. Through his various leadership roles, he's become well versed in what buyers of companies are looking for and what sellers need to do to attract them.
RISR is a data-driven application that financial advisors use to derive a baseline value of their client's businesses. It has unique algorithms built into it that also utilizes artificial intelligence to create a roadmap for the owner to follow as they make improvements and grow the value of their business, in order to maximize the selling price.
Jason says his experience has shown that owners are lacking good advice and advisors are lacking the tools to give it. RISR closes the gap between them, with the goal of analyzing hard and soft data to assist the owner in making a plan for a future sale.
One question that Jason encourages advisors to ask their clients is, "What is your dream value?" In other words, if there were no obstacles, what would you ideally love to sell your company for? Once the advisor and owner have gained clarity around the answer to this question, the advisor can then work with the owner to help him or her achieve it.
