    “I have been thinking the last couple of years on if I wanted to sell my business or just stay still. I was not sure where to start or even is my company attractive enough to be on the market and where am I with my company finances? I was really putting too much unnecessary pressure on myself because of the unknown.

    I contacted Jason Pittman at ExitAdvisor during my quandary to help me figure a starting point. Jason took the time to explain his process of selling a business and more importantly to make sure that I understood every aspect of my finances and the strength that I have in my company. He also pointed out where I can turn around some of my weaknesses as well.

    I had a better understanding after Jason showed me his findings in all the information that he had asked for and turned it into a small portfolio of what it would take to get top dollar and to increase the value of my company whether I was going to sell or not. This was the first time in fifteen years that I felt strong about running and increasing my finances in my adventure.

    I decided not to sell and with Jason’s suggestions we are making our company stronger for when the time comes to sell! ExitAdvisor has made our company even better than I could imagine!! ”

    “Jason was an extremely diligent, resourceful, and knowledgeable agent in helping me with the acquisition of my IT services company. He took the time to understand my goals and priorities and faithfully represented them to prospective buyers. He was organized, professional and transparent with me about what to expect at every step along the way.

    I recommend him wholeheartedly, especially to first-time sellers like me.”

  • ExitAdvisor

    “We met with several brokers and Jason stood out in his emphasis on communication and his willingness to try different methods.

    As it turned out, both of these ended up to be spot on.

    Most importantly, our relationship with Jason resulted in the sale of our business and we were happy to have worked with him.”
