Exit Planning — From the Buy Side
Most founders believe profitability equals sellability. From the buy side, that assumption kills deals every day.
I’ve bootstrapped and exited six businesses, acquired and exited another at a multiple, and reviewed thousands of acquisition targets while scouting for private equity firms managing over £250m.
Would your business pass a real buyer’s filter today?
Availability: I only run 5 exit consultations per week to keep the work high-touch and focused.
Once those slots are filled, booking reopens the following week.
Choose Your Starting Point
Most clients select the Plus option because it includes the preparation pathway — not just the diagnosis.

Why Exit-Ready Plus Is the Highest-Leverage Choice
Knowing your weaknesses is valuable. Fixing them before buyers see them is transformational.
The consultation tells you where you stand. Exit-Ready Plus gives you the structured pathway to materially improve your position — and protect leverage before you enter a process.
Preparation compounds leverage. Late discovery destroys it.
Who This Is Not For
- Pre-profit businesses
- “Someday” exit dreamers
- Founders seeking reassurance instead of truth
- Those unwilling to address structural risk
This is direct, buy-side informed feedback — designed to increase buyability and reduce transition risk.
Why Do This Before Selling?
Hidden issues don’t disappear during a sale process. They get priced into the deal, used as leverage against you, or kill the transaction entirely.
A $3k–$5k decision now can prevent a six-figure valuation haircut later.
