concentrated, practical, first hand knowledge

I feel like Adam Coffey has become a mentor to me, though we have never met. This is the kind of first hand experiential knowledge that a mentor entrusts to someone they want to help.

Smart options for smart players!



"Exit Strategy Playbook" serves as an exceptional guide for those wanting a smart and highly digestable big picture view of their options when planning to exit a business, I particularly appreciated this work as a rare glimpse into an often-opaque world of private equity -- a world that Adam has not only mastered himself but makes look so easy.

Excellent intro

As an owner-operated business I found this very interesting. I learned a lot about strategy, sales team and pitfalls to look out for. This book is straightforward and a good read for anyone to understand the buy-sell platform.

Great overview of business readiness

We all know the wisdom of beginning with the end in mind, however when it comes to selling a business, we tend to miss that part, instead focusing on the building part. Adam's book is a great nuts and bolts overview of how to set up your business not only for operational success, but ultimate success in a sale or transition. Did you know 50% of all businesses are purchased by private equity nowadays? His other book on private equity transactions is worth a read as well!
