Entrepreneurs hire an intermediary to assist in the planning and execution of an exit strategy for many key reasons some of which include:

The power of leverage - The intermediary brings numerous, varied parties to the table, yielding the leverage necessary to ensure the best value and structural parameters.

The power of focus – the intermediary is solely focused on attracting, motivating, and negotiating with potential buyers, enabling the entrepreneur to keep his/her attention where it belongs on managing the enterprise.

The power of a buffer – The intermediary acts as a buffer, standing between the seller and the acquirer in the discussion of critical and sensitive deal points thereby preserving the buyer/seller relationship.

The power of objectivity – The intermediary can be objective and thus act as a sounding board when difficult decisions need to be made.
 
When selecting an intermediary, an entrepreneur should look for certain key qualifications, the most important of which is industry expertise. 

An industry specialist:

·         eliminates the time that will be lost by the generalist’s need to understand the industry, including its market dynamics value-drivers and active, interested buyers,  

·         can quickly and efficiently evaluate the qualitative and quantitative aspects of your company and render a realistic valuation opinion, properly preparing the owner for the realities of the market market and giving the buyer pool confidence that the seller is reasonable, 

·         is well-versed in industry-specific terms and conditions, yielding the best situational outcome and saving the seller time and money on other professional fees, and

·         has the knowledge, experience, and expertise to mitigate the risk of “leaving money on the table”.
