Exit Velocity

Build a Business
That Commands a Premium

Stronger revenue. Resilient systems. Clear positioning. Higher valuation.

Make buyers pay more.

There are five drivers buyers reward:

  1. Revenue Quality: Predictable, diversified, recurring revenue.
  2. Margin Durability: Strong gross margins + pricing power.
  3. Operational Resilience: Systems, not heroics.
  4. Market Positioning: Clear differentiation + strategic relevance.
  5. Growth Upside: Visible expansion levers.

If one is weak, your multiple drops.

Exit Velocity strengthens all five.

How Founder's Best Friend Helps

Is Your Business Built for a Premium Multiple?

Be honest:

  • If a buyer looked under the hood today, what would they question?
  • How predictable is your revenue, really?
  • How much does performance depend on you?
  • Are your margins strong enough to command leverage?
  • Is your positioning clear and defensible?

Most businesses are profitable. Few are optimized for premium valuation. Exit Velocity helps you close that gap.

Build a Business That Commands a Premium

You built something real. Revenue is strong. Clients trust you. The team performs.

But revenue alone doesn’t command a premium.

Buyers pay more for businesses that are:

  • Predictable
  • Profitable
  • Scalable
  • Well-positioned
  • Designed for long-term growth

Exit Velocity strengthens the drivers that increase valuation, whether you sell in 1 year, 5 years, or never.

This isn’t just about exiting.
It’s about maximizing value.
