Exit Partners is a UK wide specialist business exit advisory group working with accountants, solicitors, independent financial advisers and professional business advisers who maintain long standing relationships with business owners.​
For most owners, their business exit will be the most significant financial and personal transaction of their lifetime.
​
It is rarely straightforward.
​
It involves valuation, timing, confidentiality, negotiations, tax considerations, legacy issues and the future of staff and family.
​
As a trusted adviser, you are often the first person a client speaks to when the question arises:
​
“Should I sell, and what is my business actually worth?”
​
Exit Partners exists to support you at that moment.
​
We are not a competitor.
​
We are a discreet, founder led partner firm that helps advisers deliver better outcomes for business owners approaching exit.
Founder Led Exit Advisers, Built on Real Business Experience
Exit Partners is built and led by experienced business founders, not corporate career intermediaries.
​
We understand business ownership from the inside.
​
We know what it takes to build a company, employ staff, manage risk, protect customers, and eventually consider stepping away.
​
That founder perspective matters greatly when advising owners through exit.
​
Our team has successfully managed over 150 SME business sale and exit projects across most UK sectors, including:
​
-
Engineering and manufacturing
-
Business services
-
Construction and facilities
-
Automotive and specialist trades
-
Healthcare and regulated services
-
Technology and support businesses
-
Consumer, retail and operational groups
This depth of experience brings calm judgement and practical execution, not sales talk.
