For most entrepreneurs, their business represents the largest asset they own, and they generally work with their financial planners to craft a retirement plan. But what about value? How much annual growth do you need to hit your retirement goal? With Value Scout’s Exit Modeler™, you can set actual targets to work toward that magic number. Entrepreneurs and their advisors use Value Scout to connect growth strategies to future value creation.

Exit Modeler Algorithm™
The main goal of the Exit Modeler Algorithm™ is to demonstrate the data between what happens if you “do nothing” against a deliberate value creation plan. The Exit Modeler is a helpful tool for:
- Demonstrating the need to create your value creation plan.
- View a roadmap of milestones to hit year over year.
How it Works:
The Exit Modeler Algorithm™ is a dynamic tool that lets users input their exit parameters to model their future financial profile through our platform. To start modeling your exit,
- The user inputs their desired exit time frame and their target value (AKA the “goal value” that you require to exit your business)
- We identify the ” value gap ” by using your timeline to exit, target value, and company’s current market value; we identify the “value gap.” The value gap describes the difference between your target value and current market value (CMV).
- After the value gap is identified, the Exit Modeler Algorithm™ will calculate your target growth rate and map out financial goals to reach your target value over your timeline to exit.
Scenarios:
Baseline Scenario
The baseline scenario is a linear-based model that assumes constant growth year over year during the timeline to exit.
The baseline scenario allows you to understand the feasibility of exit parameters at a high level and to identify financial targets to reach in each year of the exit plan.
Custom Scenario
The custom scenario is a flexible model where users identify value creation targets for each year in their timeline to exit until the value gap is closed. The user is presented with a financial model with a varying number of years based on their timeline to exit.
Value creation is not linear in the real world. The custom scenario lets a user input value creation targets for each year. With that being said, users can anticipate higher or lower value creation for a particular year based on their objectives for that specific year.
Key Takeaways:
- The Exit Modeler Algorithm™ allows business owners to map out their exit using our algorithms to accurately depict a predicted value.
- The Exit Modeler Algorithm™ helps you identify and keep track of your financial objectives to reach year over year, which helps with strategic, annual, and quarterly planning.
- Save time with Value Scout’s Exit Modeler Algorithm™ by determining the course of action needed to achieve your value goals.
