The Exit Path
Every business exit follows a path.
Here’s yours.
From your first valuation question to the wire hitting your bank — nine stages, one platform. Start anywhere, we'll take you the rest of the way.
The Exit Path
The nine stages
Every stage on Your Exit Path is designed to answer three questions: Where am I? What's next? Who can help?
Step 1 · You are here
Answer 15 quick questions about your financials, operations, and exit intent. Takes under 5 minutes and stays private.
Step 2
See your 0–100 readiness score across five dimensions: financials, management depth, customer concentration, legal structure, and owner dependence.
Step 3
Close the top 3 gaps in your readiness score. Owners who improve before going to market typically see 10–25% higher offers.
Step 4
Get matched to the M&A advisors and business brokers statistically most likely to close a transaction like yours.
Step 5
Your business is presented to a curated set of qualified buyers — strategics, search funds, family offices, and PE — matching your industry and size.
Step 6
Compare multiple LOIs side-by-side with structure, financing, timeline, and cultural fit scored consistently.
Step 7
Coordinated deal room with your CPA, QoE provider, M&A attorney, and buyer — with document tracking and diligence deadlines.
Step 8
SBA lenders, senior debt providers, and mezzanine capital sources for your buyer — pre-qualified for your deal size.
Step 9
Escrow, closing binder, wire instructions, and post-close transition support. Your exit, executed.
