Up to 80–90% of your net worth is tied up in your business. Yet 98% of owners have no formal valuation, 79% have no exit strategy, and 75% of businesses never sell—not because they aren’t good businesses, but because they weren’t built to be transferable. At 41 Legacy, we help you grow value now and unlock financial freedom later.
Businesses should be built like assets, not jobs.
Exit planning is simply good business strategy done early.
Owners deserve to recover the value they spent years creating.
Value growth should start long before a sale is ever considered—even at startup.
Most owners don’t know what buyers actually want, and that lack of visibility destroys value.
Our work ensures you’re not part of the 75% who leave money on the table

Most owners build the business. Almost none build the asset.
Stats
80–90% of your net worth is tied to your company
70% of business value comes from non-financial factors owners rarely measure
98% of owners do not know their valuation
Only 2 out of 10 businesses that go to market actually sell

We handle the numbers while you focus on scaling your business.
With organized financials, you can make informed decisions that drive growth.
Most business owners think they have only two or three exit choices: sell outright, pass it to family, or wind it down.
But the truth is this:
There are far more exit pathways than most owners realize—and the right one can dramatically change how much wealth you keep, how much tax you avoid, how much control you retain, and how quickly you can reach financial independence.
Most owners don’t know these options exist.
Most advisors don’t proactively explain them.
Most exits fail because owners never learned what was possible.
This isn’t about choosing an exit today. It’s about understanding that the decisions you make now—operations, leadership, systems, strategy—determine which options will even be available later.
At 41 Legacy, our role isn’t to give you all the answers upfront. It’s to show you what questions you should be asking—the ones that lead to better performance today and better outcomes tomorrow.
Exit planning isn’t about selling your business. It’s about increasing enterprise value now and securing financial freedom later.
When should exit planning start? At startup. When a founder builds with value architecture from Day 1,
they grow faster, retain more profit, and build a business that doesn’t rely on them.
