Why I Built This Tool
After running my own business and selling a couple other businesses, I learned something the hard way: most owners have no idea what their company is actually worth until they're already in a conversation with a buyer.
By then, you've lost leverage.
I built Exit Lab to give you the clarity I wish I had. A realistic range. An honest assessment of what's working and what's not. And a clear picture of what it would take to maximize your exit.
