the owner discount
No. 01

One customer is 30 percent of revenue. A buyer reads that as risk and cuts the price.

No. 02

Your name is on every big relationship. A buyer assumes revenue leaves when you do.

No. 03

Your books live in your head. A buyer discounts what they cannot verify.

Each one quietly takes money off your closing table. Together they are the owner discount.

The technology

Five pillars. One score buyers trust.

ExitWell is built on the Velocity Standard, a model drawn from how value is made and lost inside contracting and supply businesses.

Commercial HVAC · $18M revenue

From owner-led to system-led in 11 months

Buyers pay less for a business that needs its owner. They call it the owner discount, and it costs contractors millions at closing.
