For Business Owners Making $250K - $2M Profit Per Year
Get Your Business Sale-Ready in 90 Days
70% of businesses that try to sell never do, leaving millions on the table each year.
You can either try to sell yourself or hire a broker, both of which can be costly .
There is a better way… and you don’t have to do it alone.
You want to sell your business but not sure where to start.
In your business, you are the expert in every room.
But now that you want to sell, you are starting at zero while experienced buyers have seen hundreds of deals.
Selling a company is something most people do once in their life. How can you be sure you are doing it right?
Today, you have two options:
Hire a broker. The results are mixed here. Some brokers are amazing, others are far from it. In either case, they will take a portion of your sale.
Do it yourself. Post your company online with no idea of what is coming, no strategy to optimize for what you want, and managing different buyer types from all over the country asking you for things you’ve never heard of.
The outcomes can be either a sale you regret, or in most cases, a business that never gets sold.
Here are the stories we hear from sellers like you:
“I’ve been trying to sell my business for months now and just found out about Seller Discretionary Earnings. I was undervaluing it… I had no idea.”
“I thought the asking price was what I would take home on day one. I didn’t know they would pay me part of it over time.”
“I hired a broker that charged me a startup fee. After several years and multiple failed attempts, I’ve given up and I’m trying it myself.”
“I sold to someone who said they would take care of my people. One year later, they were all gone.”
“I didn’t know the difference between a stock and asset sale, and the taxes really surprised me. I wish I had talked to my CPA much sooner.”
“I didn’t know what I was doing, and my buyer had been buying businesses professionally for decades.”
“I hired my friend who specializes in family law, not M&A. That really bit me in the long run.”
The truth is, your business has value. But navigating the M&A waters alone is scary and can cost you real money and peace of mind.
In today’s world, business buyers are more sophisticated than ever; and hopeful sellers with no real plan are holding onto a dream that may never come true.
You need to know what you’re stepping into before you get started. And a plan to execute along the way.

About Prep Your Biz
Having run and sold two companies, Houston knows what it’s like to make big decisions without having all the information. And since becoming an active business buyer, Houston has become frustrated with the traditional M&A process. He has experienced, deal after deal, sellers struggling to package and pitch their business to the buying community.
Today, there are more buyers than ever on the market, and there are plenty of places for them to get help. That’s not the case for sellers. And after realizing that 7 out of 10 businesses that try to sell never do, Houston created Prep Your Biz.

Our Purpose: No Small Business Left Behind
Over 70% of businesses that try to sell in the U.S. never do, and there is no one supporting sellers of small business. We help owners making $250K-$3M in profit get sale-ready in 90 days.
Our Niche: Creating a Safe and Confidential Space for Owners to Craft Their Ideal Exit
We are not consultants or brokers. We simply unmask the daunting M&A process while giving you systems, tools, and community for a confident exit. Our space is safe and confidential, where vetted sellers (like you) gather to discuss business, exits, and what life looks like afterwards.
Unmask the M&A Process: You’ve run your business for years, but have never sold one. You just don’t know what you don’t know. Use the Prep Your Biz Curriculum and Community to demystify the steps, players, contracts, and choices you’ll need to make during the M&A process.
Steal Someone Else’s 1,000 Hours: Let our community and team of experts give you the shortcut to what they already know to be true. You shouldn’t have to do hundreds of deals to know what’s coming and how to structure your exit.
Gain Control of Your Sale for the Fraction of a Broker Fee: No one is going to sell your business like you will. Brokers can be inconsistent and will always charge a large fee.
Make Your Sale with Confidence, not Concern: The M&A process is complicated, with serious pitfalls and costly consequences that aren’t always apparent. Be in the know, and make the decision you can be sure is the right one.
