Common Questions

Pittsburgh Sellers Ask Us

How much is my Pittsburgh business worth?
Business value is primarily driven by your earnings, growth trajectory, customer concentration, and how owner-dependent your operation is. Most service businesses sell for 2.5–5x their annual EBITDA. The best way to know your number is a free valuation call with our team — there’s no cost and no obligation.
How long does it take to sell a business in Pittsburgh?
Most transactions close within 4–9 months from the time we begin marketing. Larger or more complex deals can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline estimate during your valuation call.
Will my employees or customers find out I’m selling?
Confidentiality is a top priority throughout the entire process. We never disclose your business name publicly, and all prospective buyers are required to sign NDAs before receiving any identifying information about your company.
Do I need to stay on after the sale?
Most buyers request a transition period of 3–12 months, but deals can be structured many different ways. We’ll work with you to negotiate terms that fit your goals — whether you want a clean break or a longer earn-out arrangement.
What does Business Exits charge?
We work on a success-fee model — we only get paid when your deal closes. There are no upfront retainer fees. The valuation is completely free.
