Common questions
-

It depends on whether anyone would pay more for the whole business than for its parts, how much it depends on you, and how much time and money you have. Closing thoughtfully is a legitimate outcome, not a failure.

That’s common, and it’s one of the biggest things that makes a business hard to sell. The options include reducing that dependence before a sale, transferring the business to someone who already knows it, selling assets, or winding down.

No. It’s general educational information. If you’re facing urgent legal or financial problems, talk to a qualified attorney or CPA promptly.
Sleep better tonight. Have an honest conversation with yourself.
Maybe your business is doing great, but you’re ready for something else.
Maybe it’s losing money, and you’re wondering how much longer you can keep going.
Or maybe you’ve found yourself asking ChatGPT whether anyone would actually buy the business you’ve spent years building.
(We’re big fans of asking questions. That’s kind of our thing.)
The Exit Conversation is a free, guided tool that helps business owners explore what comes next, by themselves.
What you get
At the end, you’ll see a short summary of your results and a suggested path. If you’d like an in-depth guide for your path, you can have it emailed to you. That’s the only time we’ll ask for your email.
Your answers stay in your browser. We never see them.
No pressure. No need to tell anyone you’re thinking about leaving.
And if you’d rather talk it through with a real person, Maureen (Mo) Brown, an M&A advisor who has built and sold her own company, is here when you’re ready.
The Exit Conversation tool provides general educational information. It is not legal, tax, accounting, bankruptcy, valuation, investment, or financial advice. Requirements and consequences vary by state, entity, contract, tax status, industry, and individual circumstances. Consult appropriately licensed professionals before acting on your situation.
