The Problem

The exit market is broken for owners like you.

Large corporate finance firms only serve deals above £25m. Everyone else is left with generalist accountants, fragmented advice, and advisers who don't specialise in exits.

Exvivo was built to change that.

  • 01

    Prohibitive advisory fees

    Traditional M&A advisory costs 3–5% of deal value – often £75k–£150k for a £3m business. Most of that is process work that technology can automate.

  • 02

    No exit readiness framework

    Most owners don't know what buyers look for until they're in a process. By then, fixable issues have already cost them value – or killed the deal entirely.

  • 03

    Fragmented, slow processes

    Information memoranda, data rooms, buyer outreach, due diligence – all handled separately, by different parties, with no single source of truth.

  • 04

    Boutiques can't compete at scale

    Smaller advisory firms with the right expertise lack the technology to serve multiple clients efficiently – limiting their reach and your access to the best advisers.

Exit Readiness Framework

Fix the blockers. Build the drivers. Polish the rest.

Most exits fail or underperform because owners don't know what buyers actually scrutinise. Our diagnostic surfaces issues early – when there's still time to act.

The Exvivo Exit Readiness Assessment scores your business across three dimensions and tells you exactly what to prioritise.
