If you’ve built something real —this is where the exit begins.

Built something real? That’s exactly who this is for.

You’ve built a business that works — with customers, cash flow, and a team that runs it. Now you’re starting to think about what’s next. Maybe you’ve had offers. Maybe you’re curious what it’s worth. Maybe you’ve no idea where to start.

That’s where we come in.

We work with owners of strong, service-led businesses turning over $2M–$10M. Most have never sold before. Many still work with their first hires. They’re not chasing headlines — they just want to understand what they’ve built, what it’s worth, and what a real exit could look like, when the time is right.

Why most business sales go wrong.

The problem isn’t the business. It’s the process.

Brokers blast your company out to 100+ buyers and hope something sticks. Online platforms offer instant valuations but disappear when things get tricky. And corporate finance firms? They’re built for $50M companies with full-time CFOs — not businesses like yours.

That’s how good companies end up with:

Endless delays

The wrong buyer

Inflated expectations

Deals that fall apart right at the finish line

We don’t do listings. We don’t do auctions. We do one thing: get you ready, then guide you through a proper sale — one that’s quiet, structured, and built to protect the value you’ve worked for.

ExitLogic™ - A step-by-step system that protects you from day one.

Selling a business isn’t just about price — it’s about timing, risk, and control. Most owners don’t get that until it’s too late.

That’s why we use a clear, three-step system:

The Diagnostic

We look at your business through a buyer’s eyes — not just the numbers, but the legal risks, the team structure, the founder dependency, and everything else that could make or break a deal.

You’ll receive a full report that outlines a real-world valuation range, maps the business’s risk exposure in a visual heatmap, and provides a clear, decisive recommendation on whether to proceed to market or not.

Preparation

If you’re ready to move forward, we address the gaps before any buyer sees your business. That might mean cleaning up contracts, formalising financial reporting, resolving succession issues, or tightening legal documentation. Everything is calibrated to withstand buyer scrutiny. No guesswork. No winging it. Just disciplined, deal-ready preparation — delivered with institutional standards and founderfirst focus.

Execution

We approach a small number of serious, pre-qualified buyers — one at a time, always under NDA, and strictly on your terms. There are no auctions, no mass emails, and no public exposure. Every conversation is controlled, confidential, and aligned with your objectives. You remain in charge of the process — while we manage the negotiation dynamics behind the scenes with precision and discretion.

The Diagnostic :
This is where it starts.

The ExitLogic™ Diagnostic is a fixed-fee engagement designed to answer one question:

Can your business be sold — and if so, how?

It takes 2 to 3 weeks. We look at everything a buyer would care about — the numbers, the risks, the story behind the business. You get a detailed report, a defensible valuation, and a straight answer: is a sale realistic? What could go wrong? What would need fixing?

There’s a modest upfront fee — a one-time commitment that ensures we can do the work properly. If we go on to manage your exit, that amount is credited back in full. No hourly rates. No hidden upsells. Just a serious process, built for a serious outcome.

Sometimes the right call isn’t to sell — it’s to wait.

Not every business is ready for a sale right now — and that’s okay.

Some owners go straight through and sell within months. Others pause to fix internal risks or build succession before returning later. A few realise their business isn’t quite there yet — and use the report to get it in shape.

Whatever the case, you walk away with clarity. No noise. No pressure. Just a real understanding of your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is ExitLogic™?

ExitLogic™ is a structured three-phase exit system: Diagnostic, Preparation, and Execution. It was built for owner-managed businesses that want to exit properly — without exposure, noise, or inflated expectations. Every engagement is run one at a time, under mandate, and with full risk and buyer logic built in

No. Many founders will engage with us long before they decide to exit. The Diagnostic is designed to give you visibility — not pressure. It shows you how a buyer would see your business today, what issues might block a deal, and how far you are from being genuinely exit-ready.

You receive a detailed written report, including a valuation range, a red flag heatmap across legal, financial, and operational categories, and a Go / No-Go recommendation based on deal realism. Everything is handled in confidence, and there’s no obligation to proceed.

The Diagnostic is a fixed engagement fee of $5,000 (or local equivalent). This covers the entire process — analysis, report, debrief — and is fully credited against your success fee when you move forward.

When we proceed to execution, the success fee is 4% of the final sale price. There are no hidden costs. The Diagnostic fee is deducted from this amount — so incentives stay aligned throughout.

Ventariom Advisory works with operationally mature, cash-generating businesses — typically between $2M and $10M in annual turnover. We focus on service-led, mid-market companies in sectors like B2B, logistics, professional services, healthcare, and manufacturing. We don’t work with distressed businesses or speculative sellers.

The Diagnostic takes two to three weeks. When you move forward, Preparation usually runs four to six weeks, and Execution around eight to ten — depending on buyer timing. Some founders will pause after the Diagnostic. Others proceed straight through. The system is built to adapt — without losing structure.

ABOUT VENTARIOM ADVISORY

Built by people who’ve done the work.

We’re not brokers. We’re not listing agents. And we’re not guessing.

Ventariom Advisory was built by people who’ve advised, bought, and sold real businesses. We’ve sat at every table — seller, buyer, investor, and operator — and we’ve seen too many good companies get let down by bad advice.

That’s why we built ExitLogic™ — a system designed to make business sales safe, structured, and successful.

We don’t take on everyone. We don’t run at volume. We do a small number of serious mandates, one at a time, with full attention.

Because if you’re only going to sell once — you deserve to get it right.
