Most promoters spend years building a business and weeks planning the exit.
That's where value leaks.
By the time a buyer is at the table, the structure is often already working against you. Pre-exit tax planning, clean cap tables, and the right deal format (asset sale vs. share sale) can mean a difference of 15–20% in what you actually take home.
A good deal isn't just a good valuation. It's a structure that protects what you've built.
At Store of Value, we see this gap constantly – strong businesses, underprepared exits.
Have you mapped what your exit actually looks like – not just the number, but the structure?
