Exit Consulting Group, Inc. (ECG) is a premier exit strategies management firm built upon the experience of professionals who have sharpened their skills by starting, growing, managing, and selling multiple companies of their own. We give profitable businesses the ability to build comprehensive strategies to navigate upcoming transitions successfully.
As the transaction advisor, we specialize in developing roadmaps for businesses either going through or anticipating a transition, helping with everything from setting up for generational success, exit strategies, partner disputes, developing value adding strategies, selling and more. Working hand-in-hand with our clients, we define what success looks like and then establish a plan of action to achieve those results.
Depending on the business and ideal timetable, those results range. We work to help owners successfully exit their business in a way that the organization still thrives, drive value to the business to increase sale revenues, mitigate disunity between key stakeholders to identify clear path moving forward, manage the transaction of the sale and more.
