Phil Doublet
I am an experienced M&A expert and I help business owners plan for a successful, profitable future exit
If you are age 55 or older, you likely won’t be able to sell your business.
Over the next 3 to 7 years, a massive number of Baby Boomer owners plan to sell their companies, representing trillions of dollars. But 75% WILL FAIL TO SELL.
You’ve built a real company and likely, most of your net worth lives inside it. If you wait to prepare your exit to the end, you’ll find out that it’s buyers that will set your price and terms. I help you prevent that.
For 25 years, I’ve worked with business owners who want a company that is easier to run now, and worth more when they choose to sell. I improve valuation, assist with due diligence, help you manage your people and your emotions. I have helped many owners get set up to sell on their terms.

Who I help
Owners of privately held companies, typically $1 million to $20 million in annual revenue. Many are 55 or older and want control over timing, value, and life after the sale. Most have a good business that still relies too much on them personally and isn’t been optimized for a successful exit.
What changes
You spend fewer hours in the weeds
Your numbers improve and your decisions go faster
Your company becomes more valuable and sellable, and your sales terms get stronger
You know your options and how to execute
