Whether you sell in one year or ten, the decisions that grow your business are the same ones that set its price. We help you make them early, as founders who’ve sold a business ourselves.
Most advisors handle a slice of your exit. We work with you from the first conversation to the day the money lands.
01 – Plan Your Exit
3–10 years out, or just curious
Your business might be ready to sell. Are you? Clarity on why, when and what comes next.
The 12 things that decide what your business is actually worth, scored, with a plan to fix the gaps.
02 – Grow Value
1-5 years out
Fix what the Dirty Dozen finds. We work through the 12 value drivers with you, starting with the ones that move your price most.
Quarterly support so you’re ready when the right offer turns up, or when life forces your hand.
Buy the capability you’d otherwise spend years building. One client added £8.8m to exit proceeds with a single tuck-in.
Pitch deck reviews and investment readiness, from people who’ve sat on the investor’s side of the table.
03 – Manage Your Exit
0-2 years out
Polish the Business, Find the Buyer, Seal the Deal.
Selling to your team? We advise the founder or the management team, never both.
Passing the business on? Family dynamics are an exit-value risk, and we treat them like one.
We help international tech and deep tech founders set up UK operations that buyers and investors take seriously. Built for growth now, and for the exit later.

Your business scored across the 12 things buyers care about.
The business is one half. This is the other.

Would your numbers survive a buyer’s quality of earnings review?
Raise money in a way that doesn’t cost you at exit.
Our own sale started with a call we weren’t expecting. We had no data room and more gaps than we’d like to admit. We got the deal done, and learned the hard way what we should have prepared years earlier.
Peter, Chris and John founded Exitologists after selling Evoco Digital Services to Version 1. Between us, we’ve also sat on the buy side, in private equity and M&A integration. So we know what buyers look for, and what makes them walk away.
