Exit Boardroom · AI readiness + your pathway to the 8%
Only 8% of small business owners ever sell. The rest close the doors. Don't be one of them.
After everything you built, the real risk isn't selling for too little — it's not selling at all. We score where your business stands today, then hand you the exact pathway into the 8%. I sold mine in the dotcom boom and watched every wave since — AI is the first one that changes whether your business is sellable at all.

9 questions, about 90 seconds. No email required. Your answers don't leave your browser.
You built it from nothing. You're three years from out. And the broker just told you it's worth half what you thought.
An owner-dependent business sells near 3 to 4 times yearly profit. One that runs on its own — documented systems, a team that doesn't need you, clean books a buyer can trust — sells closer to 5 to 6.5 times. Same revenue, same product. The difference is whether the value walks out the door when you do.
And there's a new line in the buyer's workings: AI can now rebuild some of your most profitable work cheaply, and buyers price that in. Pick your most profitable service line — a two-person AI team can rebuild it in 60 to 90 days. If two strangers can copy it that fast, it isn't protected, and a buyer's diligence is built to find exactly those lines.
Then meet your advisor. It already knows your situation.
The moment your score lands, your advisor is ready — seeded with your score, your tier, and your biggest gaps. Ask it where to start, what a buyer would think, how to fix a specific gap. It helps you work the pathway one step at a time. No email, no sign-up.
Start with #1. The other two open once your score is in.
9 questions, 90 seconds, scored by a deterministic engine — same answers, same number, every time. You get your score, your tier, and the full 29-item pathway to the 8%. Nothing held back.
Opens knowing your score and your gaps, and coaches you through the pathway — plain English, one step at a time. Your trusted second opinion on the road to the 8%.
Your numbers against sourced industry multiples — a valuation range, where your margin is exposed, and what AI agents hand back in owner hours and exit value. Nothing leaves your browser.
Why listen to me?
I built a data-analytics and workflow-automation business and sold it in 2000, at the dotcom peak — a seven-figure exit to a listed company. I know what a buyer's diligence digs into and where the price gets chipped away, because I sat on the seller's side of the table. You deal with me directly.
AI agents run my businesses today. The factory that would automate yours is the one running mine right now — I'm not guessing at what agents can rebuild in 90 days. I build with them every day.
The biggest discount a buyer applies is you — the business that lives in your head. Owner-dependence is the heaviest-weighted line in our scoring method. Capture that knowledge, automate it, and the discount starts to reverse.
Exit Boardroom is being built the same way we'd build yours — to run without its founder. If we can't do it to ourselves, don't let us near your business.
