How ExitGuide works for you
Thinking about a business exit?
Whether you’re just starting the process or actively looking for a buyer, ExitGuide has the resources, expertise and coaching to help you make the right moves.
We’ll help you assess the current value of your business, share ideas for increasing the value, provide templates to use throughout the process, and even give you the expert advice you need.
Before you hire an expensive lawyer or broker, ExitGuide is here to help you take the first steps toward selling your business or explore other paths to exit.
Here’s how ExitGuide works…
Phase 1: Assess and explore
Find out what your business is potentially worth and get insights for increasing its value and making the best of the exit process.
Phase 2: Prepare and engage
Gather the information you need to share with buyers, then get coaching for what comes next.
Phase 3: Negotiate and exit
Create a business profile, get personalized guidance for attracting a new owner, and complete your exit with total peace of mind.
It all starts with your free business evaluation.
Your Exit Coach is ready to help you.
As you prepare to sell or exit your business, you’ll no doubt have lots of questions. Our experienced coaches are here to help with everything from tax to legal advice.

We have coaches, not brokers. Here’s why…
If you have a big business and cash flow in the millions, it makes sense to work with a business broker. But most small businesses simply aren’t “big” enough to justify the high fees and commissions that brokers charge.
ExitGuide doesn’t charge commissions or high fees. Instead we provide you with ideas and guidance so you can manage the exit process yourself and save thousands of dollars in the process.
Options even if selling your business isn’t possible.
Selling is just one of the options you have for exiting your business. If you’re not able to connect with an interested buyer, we’ll provide other ideas and options you can use to move on to whatever comes next.
