Business Owners:
Can You Answer These Questions
- What is my business ACTUALLY worth today?
- What do I NEED it to be worth when I exit?
- What can I do between now and then to
Win the Value Game?
100% of business owners will have a last day at the business. Whether that day is 2 years away or 20+, the best day to get your numbers is today.
We Empower Business Owners and Their Trusted Advisors With the Answers They need to Win the Value Game
These statistics aren't scare tactics. They're why we created NEXIT®
80%
of businesses listed for sale never sell. The 20% that do are often for far less than expected or needed.
75%
of owners who do sell report regret within a year, either from the terms of the sale or lack of a plan.
50%
of business exits are unexpected. If you had to sell tomorrow, do you know how much you could get?
The Game Is Rigged - Unless You Know the Rules
Harvard. Stanford. Wharton. Kellogg. Chicago Booth. Every elite MBA program now offers Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) - a curriculum specifically designed to find profitable, owner-operated businesses, buy them at a discount, and flip them within three to five years for double the investment.
These aren't theory classes. More than two dozen programs are actively placing well-funded graduates right now. They are hunting for businesses just like yours - companies run by hardworking founders who either don't know the hidden value they've built, or are too busy to unlock it themselves.
You see a great business built with a lifetime of sweat equity. They see a lone zebra trailing the herd.
They're betting you won't do anything about it.
Which group is yours?
100% of business owners will indeed have a last day. Some will try to be part of the 20% who can find a buyer. Some will transition to family or an ESOP. Those who know their numbers sooner always outperform those who wait.
When thinking about their end game, most owners fall into one of these groups:
Your business is your retirement plan
Your Freedom Point is the exact business valuation where net proceeds from a sale – combined with everything else you have - fund your desired lifestyle indefinitely. Many owners have never calculated it. Many have already crossed it without realizing it. NEXIT Assessments tell you exactly where you stand and exactly how far you are from where you need to be
Your business is the cherry on top
You’ve built wealth outside the business. You don’t need to sell – which means you get to decide when, how, and to whom. But “the cherry on top” can be a $500,000 cherry or a $3 million cherry depending on what you know and when you act. NEXIT Assessments show you which it is today – and what it would take to make it the latter.
You refuse to leave value on the table
Some owners engage NEXIT for the same reason they win at everything else: they want the intelligence before anyone else has it. They want to run up the score. Elite MBA programs at Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton are training graduates to find businesses where they understand their value better than the owners do, and buy them at a discount. Knowing your number first changes that equation entirely.
It's easier to get answers than you may think.
Our NEXIT Discovery Process Reduces Your Time Investment From Weeks To Less Than One Hour
1
Choose An Assessment Option
We offer three assessment options and a free scorecard depending on how deep you want to dive and where you are on your business journey. They range from getting baseline valuation numbers and where is my Freedom Point (what does the business NEED to be worth before I can exit with the lifestyle I want) - to a complete battery of assessments, a more comprehensive valuation with a growth roadmap and ongoing coaching.
2
Complete All Assessments Online
While the data you'll receive is incredibly valuable, so is your time. Instead of requiring long discovery meetings over a period of weeks, all of our assessments are completed at your convenience online. After you purchase your assessments, we will send you links to each one. Depending on your package, your total time investment will range from 15 minutes to an hour, and not all at once if that works better for you.
3
Receive the Results
Once we receive all of your completed assessments, we review the data and generate a series of reports along with one-page summary on our Value & Freedom Snapshot or complete executive summary with NEXIT 360 that identifies any wealth and value gaps along with our initial recommendations for value growth. Everything is delivered electronically. If your assessments include a review and coaching call, you'll receive everything prior to the call.
If we can't identify at least 20x the assessment fee in value-improvement opportunities on current revenue, your NEXIT 360 assessment is FREE.
This isn't a marketing gimmick. It's the standard we hold ourselves to. We believe that if a thorough assessment doesn't open a clear path to significant value improvement, it wasn't worth your time.
Besides, if you've already won the value game, you've earned a trophy.

*About Our 20:1 ROI Guarantee
We guarantee that our evaluation of your NEXIT 360 assessments will identify a path to increased business value worth at least 20 times your assessment investment - on current revenue - or we refund 100% of your fee. Applies to privately held businesses with EBITDA of $100,000 or more.
Our company's valuation grew from $10 million to $25 million - a $15 million increase in just two years. $5 million of that was from sales growth, but $10 million came from what we learned in the assessments.
W.I. - Commercial Services
Incredibly valuable for benchmarking and having data points to work towards. But more importantly, our advisor’s insight has been invaluable to our decision-making. He makes everything seem like such an obvious answer (in a good way).
S.Y. - Online Education and Sales
What I thought had been building my company's value was hurting it, and I was worth less than half of what I needed to sell it for. Rather than just the bad news though, I learned how to fix it and expect to hit my target number within three years.
G.C. - Retailer
ARE YOU A FINANCIAL ADVISOR, WEALTH MANAGER, CPA, ATTORNEY, CFO, M&A ADVISOR, INSURANCE ADVISOR, BUSINESS COACH, OR BROKER?
We are the value tool for trusted advisors
NEXIT was built for you, too. When you refer a business owner client for our assessments, you get a standardized, credentialed diagnostic in their hands quickly, with three flexible engagement models to choose from.
- You refer, we assess, you advise on the results.
- You refer, we assess, we advise on the results.
- Joint review together with your client.
Regardless, you are kept in the loop as your client engages and progresses to the extent that both of you desire.
As a former business owner turned business coach and mentor, good data is a prerequisite to good results. The easier and faster it is to get the data, the easier and faster come the good results. I have yet to find a better resource than NEXIT.
L.H. - Business Coach and Advisor
I all but require my business owner clients to take these assessments. As a CEPA (Certified Exit Planning Advisor) and Financial Advisor, the NEXIT process saves my client and me literally weeks worth of meetings and time to get to a less objective result.
G.K. - Financial Advisor, CEPA
I wish this had been available when I first became a CEPA. I used to charge a lot more for taking clients through the "Discover Gate" of the CEPA method and it was hours and hours of time neither of us had to spare. Now I have better information much faster.
