Ensure your clients are fully prepared before going to market - uncovering inefficiencies, strengthening operations, and boosting buyer confidence. More prepared clients = more completions, stronger commissions, and happier referrals.
Clients too owner-dependent
→ You get excited about a mandate, but then realise the business relies almost entirely on the owner - and buyers won’t touch it
Most listings never sell
→ Less than 20% of broker-listed businesses actually sell - and for smaller firms, the figure drops to under 10%
Valuations create false expectations
→ Owners arrive with a valuation they’ve plucked from thin air, only to be disappointed when the market won’t pay it
Deals collapse in due diligence
→ You finally get an offer, only for the deal to fall apart because the books are messy, contracts are missing, or processes aren’t clear
Smaller clients underserved
→ Brokers focusing on £1–2M+ turnover leave smaller firms without proper preparation - meaning you either waste time or pass them up
Wasted months on unsellable mandates
→ Too many mandates tie up your pipeline, only to sit unsold for years and eat into your time and reputation
It’s not that you don’t want to sell these businesses - it’s that most owners come to you unprepared. Without the right preparation, even the best broker is working with one hand tied behind their back.
The truth is: most businesses fail to sell because they’re not sale ready.
When your clients are prepared, you win too - faster completions, stronger commissions, a reputation for results, and extra income through our partner programme.
15% commission on every client you refer.
Step 1
Refer Your Client
All you need to do is introduce us. You stay the trusted advisor - we take care of preparing the business for sale.
INCLUDES:
Simple referral process (no admin for you)
You remain the client’s primary contact
Transparent tracking so you know when we’re engaged
Referral fees confirmed upfront
Step 2
We Get Them Sale-Ready
We take your client through our audit process to uncover risks, inefficiencies, and quick wins. We strengthen their systems and eliminate the issues that derail deals.
INCLUDES:
Full business audit with automation + AI solutions
Identification of high-impact improvements
ROI-focused recommendations
Prioritised action plan that buyers value
Step 3
You Close More Deals
(and Earn More Fees)
With your client properly prepared, deals move faster, buyers gain confidence, and you protect your reputation. Plus, you receive referral income from every audit we deliver.
INCLUDES:
Stronger valuations and smoother due diligence
Fewer wasted mandates clogging your pipeline
Higher client satisfaction (they see you brought the solution)
Referral income paid directly to you
This approach helps you focus on deals that actually close - while we handle the sale-readiness work. You get more completions, stronger commissions, and referral fees on top.
Ready to get started?
Every time a client enters the market unprepared, you’re not just risking a slow process - you’re risking lost deals, reduced valuations, and wasted months on mandates that never close.
Clients stuck in manual processes = buyers walk away
Inflated valuations with no systems behind them = deals collapse
Faster-moving competitors win, while your pipeline clogs with unsellable businesses
Owner-dependence and weak systems = buyer confidence destroyed
When buyers look at your clients’ businesses, they don’t just see today’s profits - they see tomorrow’s systems.
If owners aren’t prepared, their businesses will:
Sell for less
Take longer to sell
Or fail in due diligence altogether
That’s why Exit By AI exists: to help you future-proof your clients’ operations, protect your reputation, and ensure you close more deals - with referral income paid directly to you.
We tExit By AI turned a client we thought was unsellable into a sale-ready business within months. They handled the preparation, and we got the deal across the line - with our commission intact and a referral fee on top.
Broker, £1–2M SME mandate
The audit uncovered inefficiencies and owner-dependence that would have killed the deal in due diligence. Instead, we closed smoothly, the client got a higher valuation, and we earned referral income for making the introduction.
Accountant, £700k turnover client

For over 20 years, I worked in defence and cybersecurity with BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, QinetiQ, and NATS – building AI and automation solutions where mistakes simply weren’t an option.
I saw first-hand how the right systems and preparation don’t just avoid failure – they create success.
That same principle is what drives Exit By Ai.
Too many business owners pour decades into their companies, only to discover when it comes time to sell that:
Their business is too dependent on them
Buyers walk away in due diligence
Brokers undervalue what they’ve built
I founded Exit By Ai to change that story.
Today, I bring that same precision and problem-solving to ambitious business owners who would like to:
Free themselves from day-to-day firefighting
Increase profitability without adding more chaos
Be genuinely sale-ready – whether that’s next year or ten years from now
I specialise in uncovering hidden inefficiencies, designing future-proof systems, and making businesses run smoothly without the owner doing all the heavy lifting.
It’s why brokers partner with me to help their clients maximise exit value – and why owners who aren’t selling yet still see this as the smartest growth move they can make.
By preparing owners properly, I make your job easier - so you can close more deals, faster, and with fewer surprises in due diligence.
I built Exit By Ai so owners never have to watch their life’s work be devalued or left unsellable.
Some even decide to keep their business after our recommendations are implemented - because it finally runs without the chaos.
You’re not alone - here are the most common questions brokers and accountants ask before joining.
We pay commissions within 7 days of your client making payment. You’ll receive a clear statement showing which clients are linked to your referral.
Each partner gets a personalised referral link. When a client books through your link, it’s automatically tracked to you.
If they first entered via your referral link, you’ll still get paid - no matter when they decide to book.
