A maturity exercise can make your company more valuable
Leadmore® offers tailor-made exercises where we together develop solutions for how the company can strengthen its maturity and raise the company's value. The exercises are based on the SME Maturity Tool, which provides a status report - a due diligence that shows the company's maturity based on the ISO 17029 standard. A value-creating tool - both as a prelude to a strategy process, a sales process, attracting new capital or maturing for a later sale at a higher value.
The tool allows for a flexible online assessment of the way the company works with management and leadership - in other words, it is about the company's maturity and the ability to implement the good plans. With an SME maturity exercise, you get a very strong dialogue tool to clarify where you, as owner-manager and board of directors, must put in to raise the maturity score. You also get detailed insight into where the company stands in relation to how buyers, investors and banks value your company.
In addition to exercises with Leadmore® support, the tool can be used for do-it-yourself assessment and continuous reassessments as your improvement efforts are implemented. You buy a license for the SME Maturity Tool and possibly agree an exercise with Leadmore®.
