The story behind COtingency starts with one of the hardest lessons of all: watching a business fail after a founder’s unexpected exit.
When our founder’s father passed away after a battle with cancer, his successful law firm struggled to survive. There was no contingency plan, no roadmap, no structure for the team to follow. Without a plan, the business’s value plummeted, and years of hard work were lost.
Years later, our founder (a business law expert) faced his own health crisis and realized that his own business wasn’t ready to operate without him. It was a stark reminder that no founder is invincible and that businesses dependent on their leaders are fragile.
Our mission is simple: to help founders like you avoid the uncertainty, chaos, and financial loss that come with an exit.
Whether you’re preparing for an exit or protecting your legacy, we’ll create the roadmap you need to maximize value and ensure your business thrives without you.
Our process is built for founders who want to maximize equity and protect their legacy.
Let’s make sure you’re ready for anything and build a business worth more.
