DirectExit is a unique and disruptive platform that directly connects business owners with proven, vetted and well-capitalized buyers without the cost or inconvenience of brokers or middlemen.

The principals behind DirectExit have been involved in M&A transactions since the early 1980’s. Over the last 40+ years, 25,000+ prospective buyers have been evaluated as to their financial qualifications, deal closing abilities, negotiating strategies and due diligence processes. Only those buyers who have proven capabilities and a history of successfully closing transactions are permitted to access the platform.

DirectExit works with all types of businesses across most industry sectors. The focus of the platform is on those sectors and sub-sectors which are consolidating and experiencing robust and increasing M&A activity. Owner participants on the platform are typically categorized as lower middle market companies, with revenues ranging from $1 million to $50 million.

Business owners pay no fees whatsoever to list on the platform. DirectExit is a true “no fee/no obligation” proposition to business owners.

Other platforms are generally described as “aggregators” in which brokers list their selling client companies and require buyers to negotiate through them as opposed to directly with the business owner.  Buyers are typically not vetted at all, allowing unqualified buyers access, which is unproductive and risks confidentiality.
