                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Greg Alexander speaks with Tim Belden, a Collective 54 member, about why most boutique founders make a costly sequencing mistake when building their exit team — and what one founder did differently by hiring the transaction attorney before the investment bank. This episode is useful for founders of boutique professional service firms who are preparing for an exit, assembling an advisory team for the first time, and looking to protect both the outcome and the economics of the largest financial transaction of their lives. Topics covered are why bringing in the deal attorney first — before the banker — gives founders more control over the exit process, how to evaluate M&amp;A counsel on judgment rather than brand name, and why staying the general contractor throughout the transaction keeps fees in check and protects founder interests from letter of intent to close.

This episode is useful for founders of boutique professional service firms who are working on preparing for an exit, understanding what acquirers evaluate beyond revenue and margins, and identifying the operational and structural changes that make a firm attractive to the right buyer. Topics covered are why profitability and sellability are distinct conditions that require different actions to achieve, what sophisticated buyers actually look for when assessing a boutique professional services firm, and the most common sellability gaps founders discover — and how to close them before going to market.
