The Challenges We Understand
We know the realities of mid-market ownership: pouring your heart into a business only to face mounting pressures like eroding market share, soaring compliance costs, cash flow strains, or shifting consumer demands. These can make growth feel impossible and selling seem like the only option - but often at a cost to your hard-earned value and peace of mind. With our extensive experience helping businesses de-risk and thrive, we're committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Scaling amid market changes and opportunities for long-term stability.

Voices from Founders We've Helped

Purpose Driven Succession Planning:
Mirus Australia & ManAd Partnership

In March 2025, ReadyScaleExit founder Owen Matheson facilitated a strategic partnership between Mirus Australia (aged care data analytics and advisory) and Management Advantage (ManAd, care management software). Spotting aligned cultures at the previous year's national aged care conference in Adelaide, Owen connected the founders to merge their strengths, creating a unified platform for regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and data-driven insights.
The Challenge
ManAd, with 30 years of legacy in simplifying complex care processes, sought succession and growth. Mirus Australia aimed to enhance its funding, workforce, and analytics tools. Both faced sector pressures like regulatory changes and the need for integrated solutions in aged care.
Our Role
As a strategic connector, Owen identified the synergy: ManAd's proactive client support (e.g., bi-monthly regulatory updates) paired perfectly with Mirus's innovative analytics. Through ReadyScaleExit's discreet brokerage network, he bridged the teams, enabling a seamless integration where ManAd CEO Peter Staples joined Mirus's board.
Results
The partnership launched Mirus Plus, combining technologies for better home care and compliance. Providers now access smarter tools, reducing silos and boosting innovation. As Owen notes: "One of the things that stood out... is they literally call their clients every two months to make sure that they’re across all of the regulatory changes."

This deal exemplifies ReadyScaleExit's mission: unlocking growth for purpose-driven businesses, so founders can focus on community impact while achieving profitable transitions.

Step 1

Initial Engagement and Vision Clarification

We start with foundational questions to assess independence and readiness for unforeseen events. Does your business run without you. Do you have a manager you can trust. We gather your timeline and exit intent. How long have you been in business and plan to stay. Do you have a strategy. This creates a customised roadmap highlighting risks, opportunities, and valuation gaps, inspired by sellability factors like dependencies and growth potential.

Step 2

Systems and Operational Assessment

Next, we evaluate your core systems ("Do you have a documented, technology-driven setup? Is it AI-augmented for efficiency?"). We explore outsourcing options to cut costs, identify bottlenecks in workflows and dashboards, and build redundancy to reduce owner reliance.

Step 3

Executive and Resource Evaluation

We assess leadership ("Do you have a full executive team?") and suggest fractional alternatives like part-time COOs or CFOs to plug gaps, emphasising cost savings of hundreds of thousands to millions for better scalability.

Step 4

Financial and Risk Management Analysis

We review revenue profiles, concentration ("Is any customer >10%?"), self-funding ("Enough cash for 3 months?"), and margins ("Gross >10%?"). Using tools like our market-ready spreadsheet, we de-risk with SWOT details and introduce earn-out structures to maximise value and buyer confidence.

Step 5

Marketing and Growth Plan Review

We probe lead generation ("Solid marketing plan?") and digital presence ("Website inviting?"), exploring growth levers like brand refreshes. Drawing from our experience with hundreds of businesses, we offer non-confrontational ideas for reliable revenue.

Step 6

Talent Retention and Transformation

We check key personnel ("Locked in with share options?") and transform inefficiencies using fractional resources, outsourcing, or AI to create an independent structure for continuity.

Step 7

Preparation for Exit or Ongoing Growth

We compile essential documents like Information Memorandums covering markets, TAM, and financials, securing options to buy or broker based on valuation templates from past deals.

Step 8

Exit Facilitation and Deal Process

Finally, we handle NDAs, due diligence data rooms, NBIOs, negotiations, and closures—earning brokerage fees while focusing on alternatives like direct acquisitions to ensure discreet, value-maximising outcomes.
