That’s the problem, right?

If you’re exploring a sale, odds are you’ll need an advisor to take you to market — or at least help manage the process.

But how are you supposed to know which firm is actually the right fit?

Most business owners don’t.
That’s where we come in.

We’ve built a network of 100+ vetted M&A boutiques across the US & Europe. We know:

• What types of companies they typically work with

• What sectors they’ve closed deals in

• How often they actually get deals across the line

So instead of you guessing… we’ll just tell you.

Here’s how it works:

Just write us an email at team@theexitbrief.com — tell us a bit about your business and what you're exploring. We’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

If it makes sense, we’ll ask a few quick questions about your goals, size, and timeline.

Then we’ll dig into our network and look for firms that could be a strong fit.

When one says yes, we’ll send you their info — including:

• Deal history

• Sector focus

• Typical transaction size

If it sounds good to you, we’ll make the intro.
If not, we’ll keep going until it’s a match.

We keep everything private. Nothing moves forward without your green light.

What’s the catch?

There isn’t one.
This is completely free for business owners.
We’re only paid by the advisor if they win your mandate — so we’re incentivized to help you find the best fit, not just pass you off.
