Markian Pergat | Entrepreneur & SMB Investor
Advisor to exiting owners
Investor in service businesses
Creator of the EXITS Method
My name is Markian. I'm an entrepreneur and small business investor who creates freedom, space, & exitability for established traditional service business owners.
I've been on all sides of the negotiation table, transformed unsellable businesses into attractive enterprises, and work with owners looking to de-risk and optimize for lifestyle and exit value.
As a small business value & exit maker, I use my proven EXITS Method to attain ideal outcomes for owners, both personally and professionally.
The big picture is to retire small business owners with pride and keep their legacies alive.

Selling isn't the goal. It's having the option to sell. The key is building a business buyers desire. An exitable business.
By going through my process, you may find it's more fun to keep your business that gifts you more time and money.
You might make a lot of money right now. But does the money stop when you don't show up?
Don't wait until you're ready to leave to find out your business is worth less than you wanted. We've still got time.
The ultimate preparation for owners looking for their proud exit and lasting story.

Achieve personal exit readiness with purpose
Leverage M&A for your clear value advantage
Create a business that runs independent of you
Build a desirable, valuable, transferable asset you own
Determine exit pathways for each exit trigger

You've probably pondered, even if briefly, what your eventual exit might look like as a small business owner. It all starts with you on a personal level.
How you think. How you feel. How you deal with the long list of fears, frustrations, and questions about the process. You might be thinking:
"My business is my baby. I don't know if I'm ready to let go yet... Wil I ever truly be?"
"This will be my first (and only) exit. I'm anxious about what to expect."
"Will the business survive without me?"
"Can I trust my successor to do a good job?"
"I just don't want to get undervalued."
It's good to ask yourself these tough questions and have these introspective thoughts. And you'd be wise to do this early and often. Remember, 8/10 small businesses will never change hands and simply shut down because they aren't prepared. Let's keep moving so you're not one of them.
Today I'm going to show you exactly how to exit your business without losing yourself, your purpose, and how to maneuver along the way so you don't have any regrets post-exit.
And to understand that we need to...
And with less than 20% business owners ever get a meaningful payday, there's a lot to fix...
