Kristi May believes that's too late. The businesses that command the highest valuations are intentionally built years in advance through strong operations, healthy financials, and systems that don't depend on the founder. As Owner of J&E Business Group, Kristi helps business owners buy, grow, and sell their companies through business valuations, brokerage, operational consulting, marketing strategy, and financial planning. Her work helps founders increase business value while creating companies that are easier to scale and lead. Drawing on more than two decades of leadership experience across real estate, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and professional services, Kristi brings a practical perspective on building businesses that are both successful today and transferable tomorrow.
