Filtered enterprise value moving through our engine right now
We talk to 10,000 owners a month, and we know what buyers are paying because we watch them do it. So when you ask what your business is worth, we are not guessing and we are not doing you a favour. We already know.
10,000+Owner conversations a month
We are talking to sellers in every sector, every week. That is how we know what buyers are actually paying right now rather than what a report said last year.
4,500Buyers profiled
Not a list of names. What each acquirer actually buys, at what size, in which sectors - which is why an introduction from us is targeted, not a broadcast.
$160MIn advisory fees generated
Work our engine has put in front of the specialists in our network. It is why they take the call when we send your name over.
The worst way to sell is not knowing your own number.
Most owners are in one of these four spots. None of them get better by waiting.
You're guessing at the price
A number you heard at a trade show is not a valuation. Guess, and you negotiate scared. You take less.
You need this kept quiet
If staff or customers think you're selling, they start looking around. This has to stay silent until you decide.
You're waiting for a better year
Waiting bets that buyers still pay today's prices later. Nobody makes that bet on purpose.

One call fixes all four. And the call is free.
What the gap is actually worth
The same business sells for two very different prices. The difference is a house.
Two owners, identical profit. One sold to the buyer who called him. The other ran a real process. Move the slider to your profit.
Sold to the buyer who called · 4.5x

Sold after a real process · 7.5x

What knowing your number is worth
$9M
Which of those two numbers is yours?
15 minutes on a call tells you. Free, confidential, and the number is yours to keep.
The cost of another year
Waiting isn't free. It just bills you later.
Every owner who told us "next year" was making a bet on three things staying still. Here is what a single year of waiting costs at $3M of profit.
If multiples slip 0.5x in your sector
$1.5M
Multiples move with rates and appetite, not with how hard you worked. Half a turn is a normal year of drift.
The buyer who approached you
Gone
Their interest is not a standing offer. Buyers work to a mandate and a clock, and they move to the next target on the list.
Another year the business needs you
Biggest discount
Owner dependence is the single largest deduction buyers apply. It is also the slowest one to fix, so starting late costs the most.
You don't have to sell to find out where you stand.
15 minutes tells you whether this is your year or not. Knowing costs nothing. Guessing is the expensive one.
What this normally costs
Everyone else bills by the hour. We never send an invoice.
These are the going rates to answer the same questions you are about to ask us. Good firms, real work - they just have to charge you.
An investment bank
Sell-side valuation and buyer outreach
Retainer up front, before a single buyer is approached, plus a success fee on top at close.
$50k - $150k
A valuation firm or CPA
Formal business valuation
Six to eight weeks. Built for tax or a court, not for what a buyer would actually pay you.

01
Your Exit Number

The three things holding your price down, ranked by what each one costs you.
04
The Right Introduction
We match you to a buyer or specialist who handles firms your size. People already looking, not browsing.
Owner Review - book by month end and you also get
0 days left · four bonuses worth $32,000, more than the core
Bonus 1
The 12-Month Price Raise Plan
What to fix first, what each fix adds, and how long it takes.
Built from the deductions buyers actually applied across our last 200 valuations, so it is ranked by real money, not theory. Owners who work it for two years routinely sell a full turn higher. One turn on $3M of profit is $3M, which is why we price the plan at $14,000 when we sell it on its own.
Bonus 2
The Buyer Question Checklist
Every document a buyer will ask for, in the order they ask for it.
We wrote it after watching deals die in diligence over paperwork nobody had prepared. Hand it to your bookkeeper and the slowest part of a sale is done before it starts. Priced at $5,000 because that is roughly what the delay costs in advisor hours alone.
Bonus 3
The Go Or No-Go Verdict
A straight answer on whether this is your year, and if not, which year is.
The question every owner actually wants answered and almost nobody will answer honestly, because saying "not yet" costs the adviser a fee. It costs us nothing, so you get the truth. Worth $3,500 in wasted process avoided.
Bonus 4
A Second Opinion On Any Offer, For A Year
Get an offer from anyone in the next 12 months and send it over. We tell you if it is fair.
This exists because too many owners came back to us months later having signed something they should not have. Twelve months of cover on the single most expensive decision you will make. We would charge $9,500 for that review; here it is included.

Please don't book if
We turn down more calls than we take.
Our team speaks to thousands of owners a month, but Mike only takes 8 of these calls himself - so we are honest about who they are for. It has nothing to do with your size; we value businesses from small family firms to nine figures.
It has everything to do with whether you would actually sell.
✕
You would never sell at any price. Nothing wrong with that, but the call is not for you.
✕
You are not the owner and cannot speak for the business. Bring whoever can.
✕
You want a number to brag about rather than a number you would sell at. We only give the real one.
✕
You want us to find a buyer this week. Good outcomes take longer than that, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Everyone else: the 15 minutes are free and the number is yours to keep.
That's me - book my call →No money at risk. So we cover the rest.
Your privacy, your time, and control. Four promises, in writing, before we start.
Promise 01
We pay for your time if we waste it
Think the call was a waste? Tell us your hourly rate and we pay you for the 15 minutes. No argument. You keep the number too.
Promise 02
Nobody finds out. Full stop.
No listing. No advert. No calls to your staff, customers or suppliers. Your name goes nowhere without your written OK.
Promise 03
You keep everything, either way
The number, the plan and the buyer list are yours. Use them however you like. We never ask for them back.
Promise 04
One call. Then we leave you alone.
Say no and you never hear from us again. No emails, no follow-ups, nobody ringing in six months.
Four promises in writing. Nothing to sign on your side.
That is every risk we could think of, covered before you speak to us.
How it works
Four steps. You keep running the business through all of them.
Owners tell us it was quieter than they expected. That's the point. A distracted owner sells for less.

What owners ask us before they book
"Why is this free?"
Buyers and their specialists pay us to find good businesses. There is far more money out there than there are firms worth buying. You are the rare side, so you do not pay.
"I'm not ready to sell yet."
Then it is free homework. Owners who know their number two years early sell for more than owners who find out the week a buyer calls.
"I already have a buyer."
That is the most expensive spot to be in. One buyer sets the price alone. Get your number first, then judge his offer.
"What if my staff find out?"
They will not. Nothing is listed or advertised. We never contact anyone connected to your business.
"Is this a sales pitch?"
Some businesses aren't a fit for us. We say so on the call, point you to someone better suited, and that's it.
"How long does the call take?"
15 minutes, on Zoom or the phone. You do not need to prepare anything or send documents first.
"I got an email from you. Who are you exactly?"
Legacy Point, with offices in New York, Portland, Austin and Toronto. We run one of the largest off-market dealflow engines in the lower middle market - over 10,000 owner conversations a month and 4,500 buyers profiled. That scale is exactly why the valuation costs you nothing.
"What do you do with my information?"
It goes to the advisor preparing your valuation. Nothing is sold on, nothing is added to a list, and no buyer sees your name until you approve it in writing. Ask us to delete it and we delete it.
"What if the number is lower than I hoped?"
Then you have found that out for free, in 15 minutes, with two years to do something about it. That is a far better place to be than finding out during a negotiation.
"Do I have to send financials first?"
No. Bring a rough profit figure in your head. If you decide to go further later, then we talk about documents.
Still have a question?
Ask it on the call. It is free either way.
Mike takes 8 of these himself each month · 3 slots left in this month
Two outcomes. Both of them are good for you.
✓
You like the number. We introduce you to the buyer or specialist who fits best, and you decide what happens next.
✓
You don't like the number. You keep the valuation and the list of what would raise it, and we leave you alone.
There is no third outcome. The four bonuses are part of the Owner Review and come off the table on month end, 0 days from now.
