Eight or nine out of every ten businesses that go to market never sell. And the owners who do sell typically lose 30 to 50 percent of the price in fees and taxes. A $5 million business, sold the traditional way, leaves its owner with around $3 million. Twenty-five years of work, nearly half of it gone.
Not to bad luck. To a game with rules nobody ever taught you.
In late 2020, Marc Adams was diagnosed with stage four cancer and given six months to live. He survived, and during his recovery his ten-year-old son asked him a question that changed everything: what happens to the families of the business owners who die without ever being able to sell? That question became Marc's mission: to change the way companies are bought, valued, and sold all over the world.
His first answer became the international bestseller The Secrets to 10Xing Your Business and Cashing Out Tax Free, featured in Times Square. This book is the next.
Inside, you'll discover:
How to use AI, practically and inexpensively, to grow your profit, cut your costs, and make your business run without you.
Why AI alone will never double your value in six months, and the multiple game that will.
How aligned capital lets you build a group around your business, with no equity given up, no debt, no personal guarantees, and no broker fees.
How owners who plan early legally keep up to 90 percent of the price, instead of barely 60.
Plus two bonus chapters: real case files from live deals, and the answer to the question every owner secretly fears, what do I do the day after I sell?
Written from the deck of his boat between Venice and the Greek islands, this is a book by a man who practises exactly what he preaches. Whether your exit is next year or a decade away, the price you sell for is being decided right now.
Free companion resources, including a personalized five-minute business value assessment, are included inside the book.
Someday is a decision. Make a better one.
