What We Do
A Typical Business Owner will spend most of his or her adult life building their business, only to close the doors at retirement because of failure to plan!
They are often so busy working in the business that they don't have the time to properly plan for their exit from the business, having to focus on the day to day operations rather than long term business or personal goals, and what they want to be doing in five or ten years.
This is where we can help.
Exit Advisor Group helps prepare business owners for their inevitable departure from their businesses by beginning the planning process before it's too late. We work to formalize business and personal goals, and help identify and resolve the issues that will arise during transition.
Why We Do It
More than 95% of companies for sale in the Main Street to Lower Middle Market, have critical issues that they have failed to address prior to listing the businesses for sale. These issues drive buyers away, and drive the value of companies down, more often than not, to below the value that the owner needs in order to retire.
Our founding partners, after years of experience in the M&A arena, realized that there was a critical need for someone to help business owners prepare in advance, and remove those issues from the negotiating table.
Most of the issues are fairly simple ones, but they take time to correct. Any experienced Business Broker, Investment Banker, or M&A Advisor will confirm that Time is the enemy of deals; anything that slows down the process, reduces the likelihood of closure.
At Exit Advisor Group, we know the issues, we identify them, and we help you address them!
