Is your business at a crossroad?

We are a group of business professionals that have assembled to assist business owners and their families who find themselves in need of a rapid exit from their business while maintaining as much value for the owner and their families as possible.

Occasionally life circumstances such as divorce, unexpected passing of an owner, or sickness can put an owner in a situation that requires them (or their surviving family) to move quickly. If they do not or cannot execute almost immediately, the business will begin to decrease in value. Business Crossroad Solutions is a rapid transition team capable of deploying quickly to stabilize the cash flow, customer base, and current employees. Our partners have diverse backgrounds with specialties of business operations, business finance, and sales and marketing experience that will deploy quickly if an owner or his family finds themselves in need.

We believe that our people and processes will give more value to a family over time than the transitional unplanned or unexpected business exit.

Our Approach

If your business needs a rapid ownership transition, we strive to be more efficient and effective than anyone you may speak with. Our processes were designed to address your situation and get you to a solution as quickly as possible. Our steps and timeline:

Initial phone conversation
On-site meeting within 3 days
Offer ready 2-4 days following the on-site meeting
Closing including all diligence within 3 weeks

This timeline is important to you because many businesses can begin losing value very quickly following an owner being unable to function in their traditional day to day role. Most traditional processes to sell a business are not built to be rapid. The traditional back and forth usually takes 4-6 months and often will fall apart in the 11th hour. Business Crossroad Solutions is different by design. Our commitment is that we will move quickly and “flood the zone” with an experienced management team to preserve as much business value as possible.

What our clients say

Aaron Bramwell

Founder + CEO | MONKEE-BOY

“I had never worked with a business coach before Tom Irby, so I didn’t know what to expect, honestly. Little did I know how much of an impact one person could have on our company’s future. Tom has become a trusted resource and a secret weapon to us at Monkee-Boy for over a decade and has been the incredibly insightful source of honesty, perspective, and ass-whooping that every business owner needs in their arsenal. I cannot recommend Tom highly enough – however, I don’t recommend him to my competition.”

Will Blair President

Blair Landscape Architecture, LLC

I never thought I needed a business coach; now after a year of having the wisdom, guidance, and listening ear of Tom Irby I couldn’t imagine being without him. The year was full of challenges from all fronts: balancing business during major family health issues and living situation upheaval, employee challenges, A/R issues while also at a capacity surplus of work, and expansion from local to regional reach with future national expansion while managing risk all during an unprecedented pandemic. Through the challenges Tom’s experience and knowledge has helped me to target the priorities while not losing sight of what truly matters. You can’t afford not to have him on your team.

When Mike Bernoski joined our firm, little did I know the benefits we would receive from our relationship. That was over 15 years ago. Mike was instrumental in creating operational efficiencies using technology and process changes. His ability to lead and mentor people through change was amazing to watch. I would give Mike my highest recommendation as a business operator and partner. Absolutely FIVE STAR PLUS!
