How ExitLeap Works:

We make it easier for business owners to sell and for buyers to find businesses that match their needs. Additionally, we provide resources to help you improve how you run your business.

ExitLeap is not a buyer, seller or broker. We facilitate transactions, but are not a party to any of these transactions.

For Sellers:

ExitLeap is unique in two important ways.

First, we focus exclusively on service businesses.

This streamlines the buying and selling experience by giving buyers more relevant businesses to diligence, and sellers a pool of more qualified and serious buyers. We are experts in every industry that we support, and show industry-specific metrics that are helpful to both buyers and sellers.

Secondly, we provide industry-specific resources that are valuable to everyone in that industry. Even if you are not looking to sell your business for many years – or if you not even have plans to ever sell – we share data, insights, and other resources that can help your business

Any owner of a small service-based business looking to sell can list their business on ExitLeap. Additionally, non-sellers can join as members and participate in the community.

No, you don't need to be selling to join! ExitLeap is designed to support service business owners at any stage, offering valuable insights and resources that help improve business performance, regardless of when — or whether — you're planning to sell.

To list your business, create an account on ExitLeap, complete the business information form, and follow the step-by-step process to upload your business details. Our team will review the information before it goes live on the platform.

We offer different listing packages based on your needs. You can choose between a basic listing, which includes a standard advertisement, and a premium package that offers additional features like increased visibility, enhanced marketing, and professional support.

You’ll need to provide essential details like business name, industry, location, years in operation, revenue, profitability, and a description of the business operations. Additionally, you have the opportunity to upload financial documents and other information to a secure data room.

We prioritize privacy and confidentiality. Sensitive information is only shared with potential buyers who have been vetted by you and have signed a confidentiality agreement. You control what information is displayed publicly.

Yes, we offer business valuation tools to help you set a price for your business.

The time it takes to sell a business can vary depending on the business type, industry, and pricing. On average, most businesses find a buyer within 3-6 months, but this timeline can be shorter or longer. By focusing only on services businesses, our goal is to bring you more qualified buyers,

Transactions typically lead from an initial diligence period with potential buyers to a stage where serious buyers submit a Letter of Intent (LOI). The seller will then select the LOI that seems most promising and move to deep diligence and, eventually closing, with that buyer. ExitLeap provides resources throughout this process, including legal templates, to help guide you through these steps.

For Buyers:

Our marketplace welcomes a diverse range of buyers, including private equity funds, search funds, strategic acquirers, and individual investors. If you're looking to build on an existing platform or start a new one, ExitLeap has opportunities for you.

You can browse our listings by industry, location, revenue, and other criteria. For a more tailored search, you can set up alerts to be notified when new businesses that match your preferences become available.

Yes, but detailed financials and sensitive information are only shared with buyers who have been vetted by the seller and have signed a nondisclosure agreement. Sellers want to ensure their business data remains secure, so we facilitate a transparent yet confidential process.

ExitLeap focuses on service businesses, including non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT), plumbing, HVAC, electrical services, cleaning, landscaping, and more. Whether you are looking to acquire a well-established company or a smaller, niche service provider, we have options for you.

Once you find a business listing that interests you, you can use our platform to send a message directly to the seller. Our system ensures initial communications remain confidential until both parties agree to proceed.

ExitLeap itself does not provide financing. However, we have partnerships with various lenders who can provide financing for business acquisitions. If you need help securing funds for your purchase, let us know, and we can connect you with appropriate resources.

While you are ultimately responsible for your own due diligence, ExitLeap does provide resources like industry benchmarks, valuation tools, and templates for nondisclosure agreements to assist you with the process.

ExitLeap issues digital tokens to potential buyers that are used to browse listings, gain access to confidential data rooms, and submit LOIs. At launch, we are giving buyers a number of these for free. This policy may be changed at a later date.

Absolutely. We work with PE funds, search funds, and strategics who are looking to expand their portfolios with multiple acquisitions. By focusing on a select number of industries, we expect to be a great resource for repeat buyers.
