Question 1

Is this a certified business valuation?

Accepted Answer

No. ExitReady AI provides a defensible market estimate based on industry multiples and your inputs. It's designed for strategic planning and to inform conversations with advisors — not for tax filings, court proceedings, or M&A closings, which require a credentialed valuation professional.

Question 2

How accurate is the valuation range?

Accepted Answer

Each report includes a Confidence Score based on the completeness and quality of your inputs. With clean financials and full operational data, our range typically lands within 10–15% of broker-corroborated valuations for businesses in the $1M–$25M revenue range.

Question 3

What multiples and comps do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use a continuously updated dataset of private-company transactions filtered by SIC code, revenue size, and geography, then adjust for owner normalization, recurring revenue, customer concentration, and growth profile.

Question 4

Why does your range differ from a broker estimate I got?

Accepted Answer

Two reasons. First, brokers often quote a top-of-range number to win the listing. Second, our model adjusts for the diligence-stage compression buyers actually apply once they review your operations and financials in detail.

Question 5

What happens to my financial data?

Accepted Answer

Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, isolated per account using row-level security, and never shared, sold, or used to train third-party models. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.

Question 6

Will you sign an NDA?

Accepted Answer

Yes — for Strategic and Market-Ready customers, we'll sign a mutual NDA on request before you submit data.

Question 7

Where is my data hosted?

Accepted Answer

All data is stored in SOC 2-compliant infrastructure in US-East. We do not transfer customer data outside the United States.

Question 8

What's the difference between the three tiers?

Accepted Answer

Core ($249) gives you the valuation range, sellability GPA, and a 6-page summary. Strategic ($495) adds the value-killer deep dive, 12-month roadmap, and ROI projections (12 pages). Market-Ready ($995) includes everything plus a 1-page anonymized teaser, a 15–20 page CIM draft, and a 30-minute strategy call.

Question 9

Can I upgrade my tier later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade from Core to Strategic or Market-Ready within 30 days and only pay the difference.

Question 10

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

If you complete the assessment in good faith and the report doesn't deliver real value, email us within 14 days for a full refund. We've done it. It's rare.

Question 11

How long does the assessment take?

Accepted Answer

Most owners finish the intake in 15–25 minutes. Progress auto-saves, so you can pause and look up financial details whenever you need to.

Question 12

When do I get the report?

Accepted Answer

Reports are delivered within minutes of completing the assessment. Market-Ready CIMs are delivered within 24 hours after a brief content review.

Question 13

Do I get to talk to a real person?

Accepted Answer

Market-Ready tier includes a 30-minute strategy call. All tiers can book a paid consultation with one of our exit advisors directly from the dashboard.
