Atomic Consultancy is proud to be co-hosting The Value Multiplier, an exclusive one-day masterclass created by Leaders.inc for ambitious business owners who want to strengthen their business, understand their value, and prepare confidently for a future exit.

Taking place on Wednesday 14th January in London, the event will be co-hosted by Atomic’s Founder, Lucy Noonan, alongside Richard Palfreeman, bringing together a panel of highly respected experts in business strategy, finance, leadership and acquisitions.

Atomic’s Acquisitions Director, Laura Cooper, will also join an exceptional panel of guests to help guide business owners through the real drivers of value and the practical steps they can take today to prepare for a future sale.

Why This Masterclass Matters

Exiting a business successfully doesn’t start twelve months before a sale.

It starts years earlier, with the right structure, valuation awareness, financial clarity, and strategic decision-making.

The Value Multiplier is designed to give business owners:

• A deeper understanding of what truly influences business value
  
• Clarity on how to improve their numbers and strengthen their performance
  
• Insight into how buyers assess risk, stability and long-term potential
  
• Practical steps they can implement now to become “exit ready”, even if they’re 3–5 years away
  
• The confidence to plan their future with purpose, not guesswork
  

This masterclass goes far beyond theory. It’s a hands-on, interactive day where business owners get to learn directly from people who have built, scaled, acquired and exited companies and who understand what valuation really looks like from the inside.

Meet the Experts

The masterclass will be led by an experienced group of professionals who have built, scaled, advised and exited successful businesses across the UK.
