About Bruce Murchison

For Nonprofit Founders: I\'m associated with a nonprofit organization, who is collectively an incubator and accelerator of other nonprofit organizations. You can learn more at whatisqkd.com. I have access to a wide range of services but individually offer startup coaching and services to founders to- Clarify your mission and develop a roadmap for rolling out your services - Efficiently produce your required regulatory filings - Assist with board selection/education, budgeting and launch - Introduce you to funding sources and fundraising consultants For Business Owners: My team and I guide owners exiting their businesses to develop clear objectives and stay in charge of the process. Our systematic approach enables owners to sell when they want, for the money they need, to the person they choose, often leading to improved financial security and their envisioned family and business legacy. Even if you\'re 10 years away from exiting or reducing your role, the timing is ideal to begin a very intentional effort to improve the key elements (drivers) of sustainable and growing value in your business. The top drivers that experienced third party buyers look and pay for are- Stable and growing cash flow and profitability - A management team capable of growing the company to the next level - Documented and followed processes You can even start enjoying the near-term benefits of increased profitability, solid processes, and a more capable management team that can free you from 60+ hour weeks. If you would like to take a no-charge assessment of your readiness to exit your business, please message me and I will send you a link with instructions. Connect with me here on LinkedIn and let\'s start a conversation!
