The Exit Acceleration Framework
We use AI to do in 90 days what used to take years. Here is exactly how we transform and sell your business.
1 Exit Readiness Score & Audit
Everything begins with a baseline. During this 45-minute audit, we look at your financials, your operations, and your current market positioning to determine the true valuation gap of your business.
What Happens:
We analyze 18 key value drivers. Using AI-assisted benchmarking, we compare your business against recently sold companies in your exact industry to see what multiples buyers are currently paying.
Deliverables:
- Current un-optimized valuation estimate.
- Potential optimized "Exit Ready" valuation.
- The 3 specific things holding your multiple back right now.
2 12-Month Exit Acceleration
This is where the transformation happens. We work inside your business for 12 months to build the systems, financials, and digital presence that buyers demand. Traditional brokers skip this step—leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table.
Month-by-Month Focus:
Months 1-3: Operations & SOPs. Using AI transcription and documentation tools, we extract the knowledge from your head and turn it into standard operating procedures. Buyers pay more for a business that doesn't rely on the owner.
Months 4-6: Financial Narrative. We deploy AI pattern recognition on your financials to identify hidden add-backs—personal expenses run through the business that legally increase your true profit (SDE/EBITDA).
Months 7-12: Digital Presence & Deal Packaging. We restructure your online footprint so that when a private equity analyst or individual buyer Googles you, they see an authoritative, premium brand. We then build the Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM).
3 Sale Execution
When your business is fully prepared and operations are documented, we take it to market. We don't just list it on public directories; we run a targeted, confidential outbound campaign to strategic buyers and private equity firms who have a history of paying premium multiples.
What We Do:
- Buyer targeting and confidential outreach using AI matching algorithms.
- Negotiation support to ensure favorable terms, not just a high top-line number.
- Management of the due diligence process so the deal doesn't fall apart at the 11th hour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a broker?
If you just want to list the business quickly and aren't concerned with maximizing value, a traditional broker is fine. We act as your exit preparation partner first. Once the business is ready, we partner with licensed business brokers where required to execute the sale, ensuring you get the premium you deserve.
How is this different from hiring a business consultant?
General business consultants often focus on revenue growth. We focus purely on enterprise value and exit readiness. We deploy AI tools to rapidly create the exact deliverables buyers want to see—SOPs, clean financials, and a strong Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM)—in months, not years.
What if I'm not ready to sell for 2-3 years?
That is the perfect time to start. The businesses that command the highest multiples are those that prepare years in advance, allowing financial improvements to reflect on multiple years of tax returns.
How does the success fee work?
We align our incentives with yours. For the sale execution phase, we charge a straight 8% success fee upon closing. If we don't successfully sell your business, you don't pay the success fee.
What size businesses do you work with?
We specialize in businesses producing between $500,000 and $10,000,000 in annual revenue, particularly those owned by retiring Baby Boomers in the Midwest.
