Exit On Top

10/23/2026

The business owners who regret their exit almost always say the same thing. They wished they had started planning sooner.

The ones who do not have regrets worked with advisors who understood not just the transaction, but the years of work that led up to it. Most planners point to a real window, at least three to five years before a sale, which is enough time to actually improve your value drivers instead of discounting your price for them.

The worst time to find out what is hurting the value of your business is after a buyer has already found it. By then, you may have far fewer options to fix it.

Join Eric Togneri for a live session on the value, risk, and deal factors that quietly decide whether an offer reflects decades of work or falls well short of it, and how to look at your own company the way a buyer will.

Should tax headlines be the reason you sell this year instead of next?

It is a fair question, but timing an exit around a policy prediction means timing it around a moving target. Business readiness almost always affects your final price more than a shift in tax rates ever will.

Here is how to think about the two together instead of letting one drive the other.

Signing this document feels like the finish line. It is really the starting gun.

Most of the price and terms in a letter of intent are not legally binding yet. A couple of key provisions are, though, and not knowing the difference can cost you real leverage once negotiations get serious.

A letter of intent is the first real step toward selling your business. Here’s what it typically includes and what to watch for before you sign.

When a buyer sits across from you, they have already done the math. They know what they are going to offer before the conversation even starts.

Most sellers walk in still guessing. That gap is exactly where money gets left on the table.

Tuesday at 11:00 AM ET: are you building a business a buyer would actually compete for?

A profitable business is not automatically a valuable one. How dependent your company is on you, and how predictable the revenue is, shapes what a buyer is willing to pay long before you ever list it for sale.

Join Eric Togneri tomorrow and learn what buyers look for before they make an offer, and what you can start doing now to change the outcome.

Ever sign a deal at one price and watch the number change by the time you get to closing?

Working capital is usually why. Buyers set a target for how much cash and short term resources your business needs on hand to keep running the day after they take over. Deliver less than that target and your price gets reduced. Deliver more, and you may actually get paid more.

Most owners have never heard of this until it shows up in a deal. Read this before it shows up in yours.

Most business owners can tell you their revenue without thinking twice. Far fewer can tell you what their business would actually sell for today.

We have helped privately held business owners answer that question for more than two decades, across nearly every industry you can name. More than 1,000 valuations later, the pattern is always the same. The owners who know their number make better decisions, whether they sell next year or a decade from now.

If a private equity firm called you tomorrow and made an offer, would you know if it was a good one?
Most business owners would not. And that is exactly what buyers are counting on. They have done the math on your business long before they pick up the phone, and they know what they will offer and how the deal will be structured before you ever sit down together.

Join Eric Togneri for a live session on what buyers actually look for before they make an offer, where hidden risks quietly lower a business's value, and what you can start strengthening today, even if you are not planning to sell for years.
