Exit Planning Institute Uncovers $1.413 Billion in Value Potential at Record-Breaking Summit

    SCOTTSDALE, AZ, June 21, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The businesses served by attendees at this year's Exit Planning Summit are currently worth $1.413 billion less than they could be. That was the conclusion from an analysis of the over 450 Certified Exit Planning Professionals (CEPAs) who attended the 2022 Summit.

The analysis was performed by Capitaliz, a firm that provides software specifically designed to work with and support the Value Acceleration Methodology used by CEPAs. Those CEPAs advise businesses that are current worth $3.9 billion, but Capitaliz estimated that those businesses would be worth as much as $5.3 billion if the owners were to utilize the Value Acceleration Methodology. This value gap is the highest since these measures have been made.

"We were not surprised to learn that there's a value gap, but the scale of the difference is eye-opening," said Scott Snider, President of Exit Planning Institute. "But with more than 4,000 CEPAs, EPI is committed to helping empower and educate advisors so they can help owners maximize the value of their business and achieve a successful exit."

"This value gap represents potential real wealth for business owners," said Craig West, Chairman, Capitaliz. "The work EPI is doing to help unlock this wealth is critical and can be life-changing for business owners."
