We'd Love to Connect!

I’ve been through four personal exits—and I can tell you from experience, no single factor makes a bigger difference in the outcome than having the right M&A team in your corner. This isn’t just a transaction; it’s a defining moment in your entrepreneurial journey. Let’s hop on a call so I can get to know your business, understand your goals, and walk you through how we build tailored M&A teams that negotiate from a position of strength, drive competition, and fully maximize enterprise value. It’s never too early to start thinking strategically about your exit.

Testimonials

Exiting a business is personal. Here’s what real founders had to say about working with ExitWise—and why they’d do it again.

The exit process can be overwhelming — complex negotiations, endless documents, and emotional decisions. Exitwise gave me peace of mind by managing the process with professionalism and care. They helped me achieve not only a great financial result but also the legacy I wanted for my business.

Matt Gaglio

CEO, MOD Interiors
Building Materials & Construction Products

As a business owner, you only sell once. Exitwise made sure I didn’t leave money on the table. Their ability to assemble the right team and bring competitive buyers made all the difference. I couldn’t imagine doing this without them.

Larry Crocenzi

Great Lakes Tile Products
Building Materials & Construction Products

Exitwise knew my industry, they knew the right buyers, and they negotiated a deal structure I wouldn’t have achieved on my own. I could focus on running my business while they maximized the outcome.

Sean McKenna

Founder, DataFuzion
FinTech & HRTech

Exitwise helped me navigate a process I knew very little about. They explained every step, aligned me with buyers who valued what I’d built, and made sure my employees were taken care of. I walked away with confidence knowing the deal was right for me and my company.

Scott Baker

CEO, Dako Group
Staffing

Running a business is one thing, selling it is another. Exitwise brought the expertise, network, and process I needed to maximize my outcome. They protected my interests and gave me confidence at every turn. It’s the smartest decision I made selling this business.

I had high expectations for how my exit would unfold, and Exitwise exceeded them. They connected me with the right advisors, structured the deal creatively, and ensured I walked away with both a strong outcome and lasting relationships. They truly get what it means to be a founder going through this journey.
