For owners the brokers turned down
Brokers won't take your listing? Get buyer-ready anyway.
Most business brokers won't touch a sale under a few hundred thousand dollars — the commission doesn't cover their time. That doesn't mean your business is unsellable. It means you need the paperwork buyers expect, without paying ten per cent to get it.
What this is, plainly
We turn the numbers and the story in your head into the package a serious buyer expects to receive: earnings worked out properly, a memorandum that reads professionally, and listing copy fitted to each marketplace.
We are not a broker, a law firm, or an appraiser. When you find your buyer, your attorney writes the purchase agreement — and we hand them a clean file so that costs you less.
The gap nobody fills
Between "figure it out yourself with free templates" and "pay a broker ten per cent" there has been nothing. That's the gap.
A broker
Typically 10–12% commission, and they set a minimum deal size.
Excellent if your business clears their threshold. Most Main Street businesses don't.
Doing it alone
Free templates, a listing site, and hope.
Cheapest by far. Also where most owners stall — not for lack of effort, but because buyers ask for things nobody warned them about.
ExitKit
A flat fee, paid once, for the preparation layer.
You keep control, you pay the marketplaces directly, and buyers come straight to you.
How it works
Answer questions about your business
Guided, in plain language, saved as you go. The add-back worksheet explains each line as you fill it — that part alone is worth doing even if you never sell.
We build the documents
Your earnings worked out and shown, a confidential memorandum in full and blind versions, a one-page teaser, and listing copy fitted to each marketplace.
You post the listings
We show you exactly where to go and what to paste into each field. You create the accounts in your own name and pay the marketplaces directly — that's what they require, and it keeps you in charge of who contacts you.
Your attorney closes it
When you have a buyer, the handoff packet gives your attorney and accountant everything at once instead of an hour of interview. That is where their bill gets smaller.
Start with the free part
Tell us your industry and roughly what the business earns for you, and we'll show you the range that published sources put on businesses like yours. No email required to see the number — we think you should be able to judge whether this is worth your time before handing over anything.
Every figure we show cites where it came from and when it was published. Where we can't corroborate a number across two independent sources, we say so rather than print it.
Try the free estimateMost small businesses that get listed for sale never sell. That's the honest backdrop, and no service can change it. What preparation changes is which side of that line you land on — books a stranger can follow, a price grounded in earnings, and a willingness to consider financing part of the sale are what separate the businesses that close from the ones that sit. We wrote about that properly here.
Two ways in
Both are one-time payments. There is no subscription and no commission.
