Welcome to Addison Advisory!

Most owners spend 20 years building their business and 90 days planning their exit. I work with owners of businesses worth $2M or more who want to be genuinely ready to sell in the next 2–5 years — before the pressure starts, while there's still time to move the number.

Why this matters

Avoid Regret

The Odds Are Brutal

According to the Exit Planning Institute (EPI), 2023 State of the owner readiness survey,  75% of owners regret their exit within a year of selling. Usually not because of the price — because they weren't ready for what came next.

According to a Forbes Article, 80% of businesses listed for sale never sell at all. Preparation is the difference between a closed deal and a business that sits on the market.

Start Early

2–5 years. That's how long it really takes to fix the things a buyer will scrutinize and walk into a sale from a position of strength.

The regret is rarely about the price. It's about not knowing what comes next, selling too early, or handing over a business that wasn't ready. All three are preventable — if you start early enough to do something about them.

My Story

I've been on both sides of the table.

I've bought businesses, sold businesses, and lost $1.55M on a deal that looked right on paper. I hold the CEPA certification from the Exit Planning Institute. And I own a commercial PCB repair company that runs without me — because I built it that way on purpose.

That's not a credential I read about. It's experience you can feel when you're sitting across from someone facing one of the biggest decisions of their life.
