You spent years building something that reflects your vision. Your business was shaped by your creativity, grit, and daily decisions. Maybe it started in a spare room with a simple idea and the hope it could become something lasting. Over time, your dedication turned that dream into a thriving enterprise, complete with a loyal team who helped make it possible. Now, as you consider your next chapter, the weight of what you’ve built and the desire to protect it for the future become your top priorities.
How do you move forward without dismantling the work of a lifetime?
At IntelExit, we engineer clean, financeable ownership transitions that preserve what matters most: your leadership team, your culture, and your continuity. Every engagement starts with what we call "the number that will actually close." Not just a valuation on paper, but one grounded in today's market and today's lending conditions.

There are three intelligent exit paths:
Third-Party Sale - confidential marketing to vetted, qualified buyers
Key Employee Buyout - turn loyal leadership into financeable owners
ESOPable Internal Exit - structured employee ownership with tax advantages
Backed by decades in SBA lending and regulated-sector transitions, we bridge the gap between owner expectations and lender reality.
