BECOME AN EXIT IQ SUCCESS STORY

Working with Exit IQ has been a true relief. As a business owner, you hope to have a reasonable
understanding of how your business works on the front end. You’re probably actually good at executing the work of your given profession or trade. However, nobody really discusses what happens on the back end of leaving or turning over a business. Frankly, it’s perhaps the more complicated aspect of keeping a business going. Cory and Ric have done a remarkable job for us in an always changing set of circumstances, while keeping the explanations very understandable. Their service is indispensable to long-term company planning.

When our Board of Directors elected to sell our business, we realized that we were unfamiliar with the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) process, so luckily, we reached out to Ric and Cory Tanner, who we were doing business with for other matters. We contracted with Exit IQ to act on our behalf and advise us along this path of selling our business. Ric and his team brought their knowledge of the process and some innovative perspectives to the table that I believe dramatically increased the final selling price of the company and reduced our stress levels. Their involvement wasn't curtailed after selecting the investment banker; Ric and Cory walked with us through the closing. I firmly believe that this single act was one of the most beneficial and influential decisions we made
during this process. I highly recommend Exit IQ to anybody who desires to sell their business.

"Exit IQ helped me see my business through the eyes of an investor. I had no idea how important human capital and social capital were to my valuation. Their guidance allowed me to increase my business’s worth and create a solid succession plan."
