Mid-Year Business Health Check: Pivoting Strategies Before Q3


Evaluate. Adjust. Build a More Sellable Business.

As Q3 approaches, now is the time for business owners to pause and evaluate what’s working — and what’s not. A mid-year business health check allows you to make key pivots before the year slips away, especially if a future exit is part of your plan.

At Exit Factor, we help entrepreneurs build more valuable, sellable businesses. A strong second half starts with clarity today.

5 Areas to Review Before Q3

  1. Financials
    Are you hitting revenue and profit targets? Re-forecast for the rest of the year based on actual performance and market trends.
  2. Customer Concentration
    Relying too heavily on one client? Diversify your revenue to reduce buyer risk.
  3. Team & Leadership
    Evaluate key roles, fill any talent gaps, and start succession planning if you haven’t already.
  4. Operations
    Streamline inefficient processes and eliminate bottlenecks. Better margins = higher valuation.
  5. Exit Readiness
    Are your financials clean? Systems documented? Is your business too reliant on you? Start thinking like a buyer.

Small Pivots = Big Impact

Refocus on profitable services, reallocate resources, and set clear Q3 goals. Most importantly — take action. Your future buyer is watching.
