Why should I start planning my exit 12–24 months in advance?

Most business owners wait too long — and leave money, opportunity, and peace of mind on the table. The most successful exits start 1–2 years out, with time to improve valuation, align your personal and financial goals, and prepare the business (and yourself) for what’s next. We help you build a clear exit strategy before you’re in deal mode — so you can move with confidence, not pressure.

How is Missing Capital different from a broker, investment banker, or M&A firm?

We’re not a broker. We’re not just transaction advisors. Missing Capital exists to support business owners well before a deal is even on the table. Our focus is on exit readiness, legacy alignment, and strategic planning during the 12–24 months leading up to a potential sale — so you can work with your legal, tax, and M&A partners from a position of clarity and strength.

What does a “no-regrets” exit really mean?

A no-regrets exit means you’re proud of the deal you made — and the story you get to tell afterward. That includes how the deal was structured, who you sold to, how your employees were treated, how you transition your time, and how your identity shifts post-sale. We help you define success beyond just the number, and build toward that definition intentionally.

Do you only work with business owners planning to sell?

Not necessarily. We work with owners who are:

• Considering a sale in the next 1–2 years

• Exploring internal succession or ESOP options

• Unsure what they want but know they need a plan

• Already getting inquiries from buyers and want to get ahead of the process

If you’re asking, “What’s next for me and my business?” — that’s where we come in.

What industries or deal sizes do you work with?

We typically support business owners with companies generating $1M–$10M in annual revenue or $500k–$2M in EBITDA, across a range of industries. We’ve worked with founders in manufacturing, services, construction, B2B tech, agencies, and more. What matters most is that you care about the legacy you’re building — and how the next chapter unfolds.
