About ExitDiligence™

We built ExitDiligence™ because we've sat on both sides of the table.

400+ transactions. 20+ years across private equity, corporate M&A, and financial services. We know exactly what buyers look for — and what destroys value when they find it unprepared.

The problem we are solving

  • 1

    The largest generational wealth transfer in history is underway — hundreds of thousands of business owners will attempt to sell this decade.

  • 2

    Most go to market unprepared. Buyers find issues during due diligence and use them to chip the price, defer consideration, or walk away entirely.

  • 3

    Traditional sell-side advisors are expensive, often opaque on fees, and focused on the largest deals. Small business owners are left to navigate alone.

Our approach

ExitDiligence™ brings the rigor of institutional due diligence to every business owner, regardless of deal size.

Institutional framework, accessible to all

ExitDiligence™ applies the same due diligence structure used by private equity firms and corporate acquirers — adapted for businesses under £5M revenue.

Transparent, flat fees

No percentage-of-deal commissions, no retainers, no hidden charges. Pay once for your report. Know exactly what you are getting before you start.

AI-powered with expert judgement

Technology enables speed and consistency. But the framework, the scoring, and the commentary are built on real transaction experience — not generic checklists.

Fast, flexible and independent

Complete your assessment in under an hour. Revisit it as your business changes. ExitDiligence™ has no advisory relationship to protect — just honest analysis.

With over two decades in M&A advisory and private equity — including leadership roles at EY and KKR — Gigi has seen hundreds of transactions from both sides of the table. The recurring pattern: sellers who had done the preparation work commanded better prices, faster processes, and fewer surprises.

ExitDiligence™ was built to give every small business owner access to the same preparation framework that institutional sellers use — without the cost, complexity, or opacity of traditional advisory relationships.
