The Founder Exit Readiness Framework

Inspired by Andrew Hulbert's reflections on life after a major business exit, this workbook helps founders think beyond the transaction. It guides you through the 'island check', maps identity, structure, purpose and direction, and turns the result into a practical post-exit action plan.

What you'll get

A practical tool you can use straight away.

  • Whether your current exit plan goes beyond the transaction

  • How to design a realistic post-exit week

  • One practical 30-day action to prepare for the next chapter

We have deliberately kept this resource focused. It is designed to help you take the next useful action rather than give you another long document to read and forget.
