Exit Planning

Subtle details matter, especially for closely held businesses.

Focused on the long-term result, Gateway transitions business owners to the desired life they seek. Unlike traditional exit planners and business brokers whose goal is to "close the deal ASAP" - Gateway works to find the right buyer (or seller) and close on your terms so your legacy lives after you've signed the dotted line.

​

Gateway works on both the buy side and sell side for transactions involving enterprise values between $7 million and $50 million.

​

Gateway differentiates itself from other intermediaries by:

  • Identifying key performing indicators (KPIs) and maximizing their economic values

  • Measuring KPI performance and providing ongoing reviews

  • Educating the owner(s) about all possible exit strategies 

  • Identifying the pros and cons of each buyer type

  • Creating a pitch book that caters to the identified buyer type (for sell-side clients) and highlights the company's growth opportunities

  • GVC will calculate synergies and negotiate synergistic value with the buyer 

  • GVC serves as the quarterback in the negotiation (e.g., QOE diligence reports, information requests, negotiations, and other)

  • Preparing owners for life to come and the psychological ramifications of selling a business, before, during and after the sale (or other exit mechanism) is finalized
