Intermediary’s Role
Helping you Achieve your Goals and Plans
In our role as your exit planning and transaction advisor, our team at Exit Equity listens to your goals—and implements and advises the transaction accordingly.
Our execution can differ as we tailor our services to each client—though our brokerage and intermediary services support during all aspects of the transaction:
Initial Exit Planning: Decide to ‘Hold & Grow’ or ‘Sell & Go’
Our team is comprised of educated, experienced, and certified business brokers that will evaluate the transactional readiness of your company and determine how much your business is worth. In the first stages of our engagement, we will perform a Readiness Assessment, complete a Business Valuation that incorporates criteria relevant to potential acquirers. We also provide a “net-to-you” during these initial discussions, which is important, so you know what net value you can expect from the sale of your most valuable asset. With all data and information in hand, this is your time to decide if you are ready to sell (Sell & Go) or if you need to create more value within your company before you sell (Hold & Grow). We strive to provide you all the data and guidance so you make the decision that’s right for you, at the right time.
Preparing The Company For Sale
In order to achieve the best result, it is imperative that the company be presented in the best possible way by highlighting value drivers unique to the business. Preparation and packaging the business in order to emphasize the value drivers and unique features is an important function of Exit Equity.
Going to Market
Exit Equity maintains a strong pre-qualified buyer pool and communicates monthly with all of them, which allows Exit Equity to make a buyer – seller match much faster than anyone in this market.
Internet Web Sites, Web Scraping and Bots
Exit Equity utilizes numerous Web sites to find interested parties for businesses. The most effective Web sites are operated exclusively for brokers through industry affiliations and are marketed to reach selected targets. We have built website scraping tools and bots to automate internet search for relevant companies and people who may be interested in buying your business.

Structuring The Deal and Completing The Transaction
Exit Equity is a business intermediary trained through formal education (requires 60 hours of continuing education classes per year) and practical experience in structuring business transactions and meeting the requirements of our clients. Without these skills, more deals fall apart than are actually consummated.
