When you've decided to exit, the next decisions are the ones that determine what you walk away with: who buys, at what price, on what structure, and how to keep it confidential while you keep running the business.
Candid, confidential, and no obligation.
Considering an Exit?
Whether you're planning a sale next year or simply exploring your options, the goal is the same: understand what your business may be worth, and what a successful process looks like.

$12M, All Cash
Elite Engineering, a California precision manufacturer, sold to K.R. Abraham & Co. The structure protected the seller from earnout risk.
A Cross-Border Exit
Nisene Technologies sold to Polymatech, a Singapore acquirer, with the founders transitioning out on the timeline they had planned.
Acquired by Private Equity
A thirty-year sensor-device manufacturer acquired by a Tennessee private equity firm that valued both the technology and the team.
I founded Krea after selling my own business and realizing how much value can be won or lost during a transaction. That experience shapes how I advise owners today.

Six stages, one continuous engagement. The same person from first conversation through close.
Hover or tap any stage to see what it involves.
Preparation
Clean financials and a valuation grounded in how buyers will actually value you. The story is written before any buyer reads it.
I work to understand how value is created, where risks exist, and what buyers will focus on. Experience across industries helps me recognize patterns and opportunities others may miss.
I founded, ran, and exited a business of my own. I understand the questions, risks, and emotions that come with selling.
You work directly with me from the first conversation through closing. No handoffs. No surprises.
Legal, tax, financial, and operational issues all affect outcomes. I coordinate the right specialists so nothing important gets overlooked.
Buyers look beyond earnings. I help owners understand what drives value, creates risk, and influences price.
Have More Time?
If you're not going to market just yet, the Value Boost Program builds value first, then runs the sale. Same advisor through to close.
A direct conversation about your business, your timing, what a realistic process looks like, and what your business is plausibly worth.
