Your Personal Board of Advisors

The Blue Sea Advisors Network provides the proven framework and top-tier niche’ talent to help you accomplish your unique vision, goals, and objectives, through effective:

  • Business valuations and continuity planning
  • Constraint identification and management
  • Growth strategy development
  • Metrics-based project prioritization
  • Structured innovation processes
  • Succession planning and key team retention strategies
  • Ownership transition preparation
  • Retirement lifestyle planning
  • Asset protection and estate planning, and
  • Advanced tax and cost reduction strategies

We listen closely to what your greatest current concerns are, and help you immediately address them with your current team or with the talent you need.

You’ll be able to pinpoint the root cause of your current system’s constraint–your weakest link–no matter which functional area it is hiding within.

Your organization will gain traction by focusing on the right operational metrics and weekly commitments to achieve the mission of your company while increasing its financial strength and future longevity.

We’ll orchestrate for you any required collaboration among external professionals or fractional-share business advisors required to compliment the internal capabilities of your next-level management team members.

As a majority-control shareholder, you won’t be able to capitalize on the value of your business unless you can demonstrate that it can survive and thrive without you. Otherwise, buyers will recognize that most of your company’s value walks out the door with you.

So, we help you work ON your business systems, processes, and next-level management team, to maximize the attractiveness and transferable value of your company.

Using our powerful Longevity Planning Process:

● You’ll discover whether the current net FMV of your business and your current outside financial resources can provide you with the financial freedom and retirement lifestyle you’ve been working to achieve.

● If a financial gap exists, we’ll help you prioritize the projects and process improvements that will add the most value to your business enterprise from the perspective of a third-party buyer.

● We’ll then help you set up the right forward-looking managerial metrics and Scenario Planning Dashboard so you can keep a handle on the progress you and your team are making in growing the value of your business.

Business Valuation Consulting

Your company is most likely your most important and valuable asset.

But 98% of business owners don’t really know their company’s fair market value because private company valuations used to be quite expensive, time-consuming, and invasive.
Not anymore.
We’ve partnered with the world leader in business valuation software, BizEquity, so you can afford to track your private company’s market value as frequently as you’d like.
Never before has there been such a convenient way to verify whether you’re working on the right priorities and consistently adding value to your business enterprise.

There are some 30 million private businesses in the United States. Over the next ten years, $12 Trillion of wealth will be transferred to new ownership.
Our Network’s professionals and advisors can help you add millions of dollars to the value of your business BEFORE you decide to transfer ownership, and make sure you’re taking the right steps along the way to “finish strong”.

Start Your Business Valuation Here
Has your current team of wealth advisors, professional attorneys and CPAs helped you determine if your net business sale proceeds and other liquid assets would be sufficient to provide you with the income streams you’ll need in retirement?

Are your key team members committed to your vision, goals, and aspirations?
Do you know how to maximize the transferable value of your business in the marketplace?
The Blue Sea Advisors Network can help you get there. It’s pretty tough to do it all on your own.

Here’s Some Reviews of Our Prior Engagements

★★★★★

“I first met Gary in 2016 when we were both involved in resisting a conservation authority’s plan for unreasonable restrictions which would detrimentally affect an area not only in which we both owned property, but which would adversely affect thousands of other property owners. Ultimately the plan was defeated through the mobilization of thousands of property owners who Gary, I and a number of other people advocated on behalf of. During this process, Gary was deeply involved in legal and other research to determine not only the legality of the plan but to find alternatives that had been utilized elsewhere to address the same concerns but not in such a heavy handed manner. Throughout the process Gary worked incredible hours, communicated constantly to keep people advised and was generally passionate, practical and efficient in all of his dealings. In other words he was just the person you wanted on your side.”

-Grant Sawiak

“The service I receive is outstanding – I’ve been working with Gary for about 4 years and he’s NEVER let me down. Gary goes out of his way to explain situations to you. His emails are detailed and heart felt and you can tell that he truly wants you to understand your options. He really puts a lot of love into his work and you can see it. This isn’t a “job” to him, it’s his life. I love working with Gary. It’s hard to find good people these days and he’s one of the best there is.”
