Welcome to ExitForge Creating your best M&A exit...

Dedicated to helping Software & SaaS Businesses Maximise their Exit Potential…

ExitForge partners with founders, executive teams and their investors who are serious about maximising the value of their business before a sale or M&A transaction. 


Whether you're 12 months or 36 months from an exit, we embed the expertise, discipline and strategic rigour your business needs to command a premium valuation and attract the right buyers. 


We then work with our clients and their sell-side advisors to kick-off and help co-ordinate the exit process, ensuring that your business is showcased, presented and empowered to reach its full financial potential.

High Performance

ExitForge takes your current business run-rates and growth forecasts and help you re-engineer them into a financial plan that gears you up for creating the right business performance needed to meet your exit ambitions. The most usual way is to work back from your desired EBITDA target and ensure that the run-rate and growth plans make sense and support the target

Being Totally Prepared

ExitForge helps to idenitify what your potential buyers are looking for. What you need to enhance, change or re-work to ensure that every singlegreat thing about your business is showcased and will shine through, not just in your IM, but in the meetings and DD that follows. Many buyers pass on opportunities because they can't see the value of the business in the initial stages, including your Information Memorandum (IM)

Working the Exit Transaction Process

We can work with you on the exit process itself. With more than 10 years of experience over multiple exits, we can help prepare, mentor or help front the process of a sale if required. It's daunting, especially for first timers and having a safe pair of hands, totally on your side, can be imperitive to ensure the exit process is carefully managed and delivers the best possible result

About our Founder

Michael Latimer

Michael has been working in the Software Technology world for 30 years, with broad experience in the UK/EMEA, Americas and the AsiaPac regions. Growing up orginally in Sales, he moved into management and then leadership and then CEO roles. Michael has managed more than 300 people in a single business unit.


In that time he has acquired extensive experience in both buy and sell side M&A - from how a listed FTSE public company was taken private through to smaller transactions and has had a 100% success rate in getting every exit transaction over the finishing line. He has extensive experience in different buyer personas, so competitor, investors, PE and PE backed.


Michael works closely with owners, founders, executive teams, investors and their advisors to ensue that the full potential of a business sale can be achieved. It's not easy, it takes a huge amount of work to ensure that a business is sold at the right time, has the optimal financial metrics in place - all supporting the sellers expected valuation and that a company is prsented in the best possible light to potential buyers.

How do we work

We are really flexible in how we engage with our clients, and for us, nothing is off the table in agreeing how we can best work together. We are certainly not expensive, expecially considering the value we can bring to a business looking to exit.

Do we have long term contracts?

Absolutely not. In most cases we work on a month to month basis so you can choose how and when you deploy our services
