FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers for founders navigating the M&A landscape. We’re here to guide you through every stage of your exit.
What does ExitHero do?
We run the outreach for your company’s sale. We identify the strategic buyers most likely to value your business, contact them, take the first calls, and coordinate NDAs and meetings. Our team then advises you through negotiation and closing.
Who contacts the buyers?
We do. Outreach goes out from ExitHero, and replies come back to us. In our platform you can see, buyer by buyer, who opens our emails and views your listing page.
How much of my time will this take?
Your time goes to what only you can do: shaping the strategy with us at the start, and meeting the buyers who are interested. We handle the outreach, follow-ups and scheduling.
Are you an investment bank?
No. ExitHero is not an investment bank or a registered broker-dealer. We identify strategic buyers for your company, contact them on your behalf, take the first calls, and coordinate NDAs and meetings. Our team then advises you through negotiation and closing. Your attorney and accountant handle the legal and financial work.
What do I get from the Exit Strategy phase?
In about two weeks, we identify the segments where your company fits, the likely buyers in each, and how to position your company to them. You review the first cut with us before deciding anything further.
How do you charge?
Phase by phase, with success fees paid only when a deal closes. See our Pricing page for details.
How long does a process take?
About 180 days from start to close is typical. Some sales move faster and some take longer, depending on the market, your company and the buyers.
What does your technology do?
Our platform uses AI to find qualified buyers beyond your own network, manages outreach to them, and shows you, buyer by buyer, who opens our emails and views your listing page.
Who is on your team?
Experienced founders and operators who have built, scaled, bought and sold companies.
Will my sale stay confidential?
Yes. We run a confidential process, and you may require buyers to sign an NDA before they see detailed information about your company.
