What’s Your Business Actually Worth?

You’re not selling a building. You’re exiting a lifetime of work.

If you’re here, it’s not because you’re giving up. It’s because something inside you finally
asked:
“What’s this thing I built actually worth — and what happens if I let go?”
You’ve spent decades building a business that works because you do.
You showed up when others called in.
You made payroll when it hurt.
You kept the lights on, the people employed, and the customers coming back.

But now? You’re asking better questions.

  • Is this sellable?
  • Can I retire and still get paid?
  • What would a buyer even want?
  • What happens to my employees?
  • “What’s the real number?

These aren’t Google searches. They’re legacy questions.
And most owners don’t ask them until it’s too late.

We Built Something Just For You

It’s called the Snapshot Valuation.
And it’s built for owners like you — the 55+ crowd that’s still standing while others are
burning out.
You’re not flashy. You’re not desperate.
You just want to know:
“Can I sell this right — without risking everything I built?”
We ask you 16 questions.
You take 5 minutes.
You walk away with clarity.
No pressure. No pitch. No chasing.

Just a private way to understand what your business might be worth — and what to do
next.

What Will Your Family Inherit — A Business, or a Burden?

A business that depends entirely on you… isn’t a business.
It’s a weight your family may one day be forced to carry.
Let’s make sure they inherit a legacy — not a liability.
When you exit well, you’re not just protecting your name.
You’re giving your family freedom to remember you for how you led — not what you
left behind.
You Can Sell Without Selling Out
You can:
• Transition to a buyer who honors your legacy
• Stay on part-time for a year, if you want
• Create a win for your family, your staff, and your name
There is no one right exit.
But there are plenty of wrong ones.
This tool helps you avoid those.
“I once spoke to a business owner who said, ‘I don’t want to get rich. I just don’t want to
do payroll at 67.’”
That’s the heart of it.

The Most Dangerous Move Is Waiting

We’ve seen too many owners get caught in the same trap:
• One buyer.
• One offer.
• No leverage.
They get tired. They get nervous. They take the deal they can get.

But the ones who win? They do something rare:
They ask early.
They prepare.
They don’t let the market decide for them.
“Even if you’re not ready to sell — this gives you the clarity to choose when you are.”
You wouldn’t drive a truck without checking the oil.
So why would you exit your business blind?
This is the clarity check.

What’s in a Snapshot?

Inside the Snapshot Valuation, we help you:
✓ Understand how buyers look at your business
✓ See your earnings the way private equity does
✓ Know which levers increase or decrease your value
✓ Protect your team, your legacy, and your dignity
You’ll never feel pressured.
You’ll never feel sold.
This isn’t about moving fast. It’s about moving right.

No Broker. No Pressure. No Games.

Here’s what the Snapshot doesn’t do:
• No one calls unless you ask them to
• Your employees will never be contacted
• Your info stays confidential
• You’re in control the entire time
Simple as that.

What Other Owners Say.

“I’m not trying to buy a yacht. I just want to exit without regret.”
“My kids weren’t able to take over — I needed to figure something out.”
“It’s not just the money. The way I leave also matters.”
This is the quiet truth behind most exits. We just say it out loud.

Your Last Act of Ownership

At some point, you’ll exit. The only question is — will it be intentional?
Running the Snapshot is your final act of leadership:
• Not for flash, but for clarity
• Not to sell now, but to know what’s possible
• Not out of fear, but out of respect for what you’ve built
You’re not just letting go of a business. You’re finishing the race well.
Let’s help you do that.

Exit With Jake. For Business Owners Who Built It Right — And Want to Exit That Way
Too.

A professional business valuation gives you a clear, unbiased understanding of your company’s worth. It’s essential when preparing to sell, bringing on investors, planning for retirement, or even just understanding your financial position. A DIY estimate can miss key factors that influence value, potentially costing you time and money.

The timeframe varies based on the size and complexity of your business, but most valuations are completed within 2 to 4 weeks. We ensure a thorough, accurate assessment while respecting your timeline and goals.

We typically request financial statements for the past 3–5 years, tax returns, details about assets and liabilities, ownership structure, and any additional documents that help us understand your operations and value drivers. Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through every step of the data collection process.

Absolutely. Your privacy is our top priority. All information you provide is kept strictly confidential and is used solely for the purpose of evaluating your business. We operate with complete professionalism and discretion throughout the process.
