Every Exit Engine engagement follows the same five-phase pathway. Each phase has defined inputs, deliverables, and gates — so you always know where you are and what comes next.
A 5-minute self-assessment across financial, ops, customer, team, legal, tax, market, owner, and risk dimensions. You leave with scores, flags, and a prioritized action list — no documents, no obligation.
A three-method valuation (income, market, asset) backed by a quality-of-earnings review and a value-gap analysis. We quantify what the business is worth today, what it could be worth, and what specifically is holding the multiple back.
We turn the Business Value Report into a date-driven plan: named milestones, named owners, quantified impact on multiple. Integrated with your CPA, attorney, wealth advisor, and any fractional CFO. Tracked on a live dashboard.
Execution. Financial cleanup. Customer concentration de-risking. Team and process documentation. Tax-structure optimization. We ship the gaps that buyers will price against — before the buyer ever sees the data room.
CIM, targeted buyer outreach, indications of interest, LOI negotiation, definitive agreements, and close coordination. Same team that quantified your value runs the deal. Net-after-tax, timeline, and legacy protected.
