Advisory Services
Five services, one team, and a single goal: getting you from “thinking about it” to a closed transaction you feel great about.
Buying or selling a business starts with understanding the basics. Here are direct answers to the questions we hear most — before anyone signs anything.
An M&A advisory firm guides business owners through buying or selling a company — valuing the business, preparing it for market, confidentially identifying qualified buyers or acquisition targets, negotiating terms, and managing due diligence through closing. ExitBig provides all of these services to owners in Omaha and across the Midwest.
Explore our servicesIdeally one to three years before you intend to sell. Early exit planning gives you time to strengthen financial reporting, reduce owner dependence, and fix the issues buyers discount for — which directly improves your sale price and terms when you do go to market.
Learn about sell-side advisoryA professional business appraisal analyzes your normalized financials, market comparables, and company-specific value drivers to produce a defensible valuation. Unlike generic rules of thumb, it tells you both what your business is worth and why — so you know exactly where to focus to grow that value.

Our strong and lasting partnerships with our clients are the foundation of our work. Our priority is to ensure strong alignment with our core values between our potential client and the Exit Big team. Once we truly understand our clients’ goals and business needs, we manage expectations and outline a comprehensive plan as we proceed. Our team’s strong business acumen allows us to pursue the right opportunity, professionally, for each party we engage and collaborate with throughout the process.
That approach comes from experience on your side of the table. Our team has owned, operated, and sold businesses of our own — so we know the late nights behind your revenue numbers, and we treat your company’s sale with the care we’d want for ours. Read more about our team and values.
A free, confidential discussion about your goals — whether you're selling, buying, or just exploring. No pressure, no obligation, and nobody outside the room ever knows we talked.
We assess your situation, establish a realistic valuation, and lay out a step-by-step path — so you understand your options and the likely outcome before committing to anything.
From confidential marketing and negotiation through due diligence and closing, we manage the process end to end while you keep running your business.
We strongly believe that our past business ownership experience, exceptional people skills, and our emotional intelligence in the face of any obstacle, big or small, sets us apart to provide our clients with an exceptional experience every time. In addition, our thorough and open communication, honesty, and the utmost regard for our client’s confidentiality help our deals become successful transactions and create a strong base for new and exciting business ventures.
Because we’re rooted in Omaha, we know the local buyers, lenders, attorneys, and accountants who actually get Nebraska and Midwest deals closed. Our clients span home services, manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and more — see our closed transactions or hear it from the owners themselves.
We've bought, built, and sold our own businesses — we know what this decision feels like.
The people you meet on day one run your transaction to the end. No hand-offs to juniors.
Blind marketing, pre-qualified buyers, and NDAs before your company's name is ever shared.
Including 'now isn't the right time to sell' — advice you can only get from a firm that isn't chasing volume.
Our dynamic team brings a unique skill set to the business community in the Midwest. We draw from our time spent in entrepreneurship, leadership, finance, banking, and buying and selling businesses to bring our clients an unrivaled experience every time.
We love working with passionate business owners who are ready to buy, sell, or simply learn the true value of their company. We streamline the process from start to finish, prioritizing timeliness, transparency, confidentiality, and open communication.
“Deciding to sell our business was an emotional and overwhelming experience. The folks at ExitBig explained everything step by step ahead of time and continued to walk us through the process along the way. The ExitBig team gave us the peace of mind to transition the company to the new owners while they managed the details of the sale and made sure we were kept up to date on how things were progressing. I would recommend their services to anyone who is considering selling their business and not sure where to start!”
The essentials about working with an Omaha M&A firm — answered plainly. For service-specific questions, each service page goes deeper.
ExitBig is a boutique mergers and acquisitions firm in Omaha, Nebraska. We help business owners sell their companies, help buyers acquire the right business, provide independent business appraisals, support transactions with financial due diligence, and advise on the commercial real estate connected to a business.
We're based in Omaha and work with business owners and buyers throughout Nebraska and the greater Midwest. Our local market knowledge — the buyers, lenders, and advisors who get Midwest deals done — is one of the main reasons clients choose us.
We work with privately held small and mid-sized businesses across a wide range of industries — from home services and manufacturing to healthcare services and technology. Our closed transactions span pest control, engineering, media, childcare, landscaping, and many others.
Nothing. The initial consultation is free and completely confidential. If we move forward together, we'll explain our engagement structure clearly and transparently before you commit to anything — no surprises.
Absolutely. Confidentiality is foundational to everything we do. Your employees, customers, competitors, and vendors will never learn that you're exploring a sale or acquisition — buyers are pre-qualified and sign confidentiality agreements before your company's identity is ever disclosed.
With a boutique firm, the experienced people you meet on day one are the same people running your deal on day two hundred. You get senior-level attention, local market relationships, and a team whose reputation depends on your outcome — not a junior analyst working from a national call center.
You've worked too hard to leave your biggest transaction to chance. Start with a free, confidential conversation — and know exactly where you stand.
