Exit Planning For Small Business Owners

Welcome to Addison Advisory!

Most business owners spend 20 years building their company and 90 days planning their exit. I work with owners doing $1M–$10M in revenue who are 2–5 years out — before the pressure starts, while there's still time to move the number.

The Time it Takes to Properly Prepare for a Great Exit

The regret isn't usually about the price. It's about not knowing what comes next, selling too soon, or handing over a business that wasn't ready. All three are preventable -- If you start early enough.

My Story

I've been on both sides of the table.

I've acquired businesses, sold businesses, and lost $1.55M on a re-entry that looked right on paper. I hold the CEPA certification from the Exit Planning Institute. I also own a commercial PCB repair company that runs without me — because I built it that way deliberately.

That's not a credential. That's experience. The difference matters when you're sitting across from someone making one of the biggest decisions of their life.

"Most advisors tell you what to do. Thomas has actually done it — including the expensive mistake. That changed how I thought about my own exit."

— Business owner, Richmond VA

How we work together

Exit Readiness Assessment

$1,500 — paid entry point

A structured evaluation of your business across 8 dimensions buyers will scrutinize. You walk away with a scored report, a clear picture of where you stand, and a prioritized list of what to address. Defined scope, concrete deliverable, no open-ended commitment.

Full Exit Planning Engagement

$6,000–$9,000 over 3–6 months

End-to-end exit planning built around your timeline and goals. We work systematically through the 8 dimensions, fix what needs fixing, and build the documentation and positioning that maximizes your exit value. Structured milestones, not open-ended coaching.

Free 30-Minute Conversation

No cost, no obligation

Not a sales call. Tell me where you are, I'll tell you honestly whether I can help — and what I'd focus on first if we worked together. Book directly on the calendar link below.

Every assessment covers these eight areas. Most businesses score well on two or three and have real exposure in the others. Knowing where you stand — early — is what creates options.
