You built the business. Before you decide whether to sell it, understand what your options are—and what could make them better.
Exit Hero works on the seller’s side with entrepreneurs whose companies generate $10 million or more in annual sales. We help you assess the decision, prepare the business, and, when the
time is right, lead a confidential sale process.
We’ll discuss your goals, your business, and whether there’s a useful next step together. No obligation to go to market.
A buyer has approached you. You are beginning to think about life after the business. Or you know you may want to sell someday, but you are not sure what the company would need to look like first.
Those situations call for different decisions. Should you entertain an offer? Prepare for a sale in a year or two? Make changes now that give you more freedom later?
Exit Hero helps you answer those questions before momentum—or someone else’s timetable—answers them for you.
We start with what you want from a sale, what you might gain by waiting, and what could stand in the way. The aim is to identify a sensible path, not push you toward a listing.
If selling later is the better choice, we help you focus on issues a buyer is likely to examine: financial clarity, leadership depth, customer concentration, owner dependence, and the company’s growth story.
For select companies ready to move forward, we represent the seller through a confidential process. We position the business, engage appropriate buyers, compare offers, and help manage the work from initial interest through closing.
Exit Hero primarily advises entrepreneurs whose companies generate $10 million or more in annual sales. Some are ready to consider a sale. Others want to know what to do before one becomes possible—or necessary.
We are a fit for entrepreneurs who want candid advice, value discretion, and understand that the strongest outcome is not determined by headline price alone. Buyer fit, deal structure, certainty, and your role after closing all matter.
We take on engagements selectively, where we believe we can contribute meaningfully to the outcome.
It is something you built over years, often alongside people who count on it. A sale deserves more than a buyer list and a target price.
Exit Hero advises the entrepreneur making the decision. That means being willing to say “not yet,” preparing carefully before approaching the market, and evaluating offers against what actually matters to you.
Entrepreneur, operator, and exit advisor
Exit Hero is led by Robert Hirsch, whose background includes building, scaling, buying, operating, and selling businesses. He brings that perspective to the practical and personal decisions entrepreneurs face when considering an exit.

Present the business around what buyers care about most: growth, transferability, margin quality, customer concentration, systems, leadership, and risk.
Create a confidential process that reaches serious buyers while filtering for fit, capacity, and intent.
Navigate offers, diligence, terms, financing questions, and closing with experienced guidance.
Drew’s story proves that you can create a massive difference in your valuation if you know what key lever to focus on. Robert shifted their primary method of customer acquisition from a high touch strategy to a more scalable online strategy. This helped them triple their profits, increased the value of the company by 10 times, and set up a sale of the company for a mid 8-figure sale price. This sale and freedom allowed Drew to pursue professional race car driving full time.
Robert transformed Tim’s business model with two dramatic key shifts that resulted in millions of dollars in windfall profits. The first simple shift was converting his magazine to an online real-time membership business, and the second was adding an insurance company on the backend to help better serve and protect his membership.
The Elevation Group was formed to educate hard-working individuals about the secret investing strategies of the ultra-wealthy. It launched from scratch and generated $3.5 million the very first week in business. They achieved massive growth and generated 8 figures during their first 12 months in business. The Elevation Group went on to become the largest financial membership of its kind with over 1 million readers and serving over 50,000 members.
