Mike Allen, Business Doctor
Mike has 30 years’ experience in leadership positions, transforming businesses.
Much of that time was spent operating at MD / Board level in companies ranging from FTSE 250, through private equity ventures to two of his own. He has an excellent track record of developing strong, market-focused organisations, with a particular emphasis on growth, authentic leadership and delivering change.
Now enjoying a portfolio career, it’s all about the businesses Mike works with, helping them achieve their vision and get the outcomes they truly want. This includes helping prepare for exit. He specialises in helping owners get ready for a sale – the aim being to allow them to ‘punch above their weight’ at this crucial stage.
Running a business isn’t easy, at any time, let alone in a world that is changing as rapidly as ours. Mike believes though there are always options and opportunities… they key is how you respond to them.
His promise is simple – to help clients be crystal clear about what they are building and to help deliver the outcomes they want.
As financial planning experts, the Managing Partners of Proexit have often heard clients state that their ‘business is their pension’. If that sounds like you, we can assist you in qualifying that statement and are on hand to help you work towards a successful business exit or sale.
