Your Business Is Your Legacy.

Build It Like an Asset

Not an Accident.

 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.

 What 41 Legacy Stands For

  • 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

THE HIDDEN RISK MOST

OWNERS NEVER SEE

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

    • Over 90% of owners regret their exit within 12 months—because they weren’t prepared

We handle the numbers while you focus on scaling your business.

With organized financials, you can make informed decisions that drive growth.

The Exit Options Most Owners Never Hear About

 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.

The Earlier You Start, the More Money You Create

Exit planning isn’t about selling your business. It’s about increasing enterprise value now and securing financial freedom later.

More profit today through better systems, leadership, and execution

Higher valuation tomorrow through reduced risk and increased transferability

Stronger negotiating power for financing, partnerships, or acquisition

Freedom and optionality whether you sell in 2 years or 20

 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.

Where It All Begins:

What Is Your Business Actually Worth?

 Everything starts with two questions:

1. What is your business worth today?

2. Would that value fund your next stage of life?

Without valuation clarity:

You can’t grow value strategically

You can’t prepare for opportunities

You can’t protect what you’ve built

You can’t protect what you’ve built

You can’t grow value strategically.

We don’t replace your advisors. We coordinate them.
