Prepare a SaaS company for acquisition or exit — valuation drivers by buyer type (strategic, PE, bootstrap), due diligence readiness, EBITDA vs ARR multiples, and 12–24 month exit timeline. Use when planning an exit, preparing for acquisition, or maximizing company value for a future sale. Triggers on: "exit strategy", "sell company", "acquisition prep", "M&A", "due diligence", "company valuation", "exit planning", "PE acquisition", "bootstrap exit".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Exiting a Company ## Overview Companies are bought, not sold. The best exits happen when a strategic or financial buyer identifies you as the solution to their problem — not when you announce a sale. This skill covers **valuation drivers by buyer type**, diligence-ready metrics, and the 12–24 month runway most exits require. **Not legal or tax advice.** Use qualified counsel for transactions, earnouts, and cap table mechanics (`equity-management`, `legal-for-founders`). ## When to Use - "How do I prepare my company for acquisition?" - "What's my company worth to PE vs strategic?" - "Build an exit strategy" - "Prepare for due diligence" - "Maximize acquisition value" - "Sell my bootstrapped SaaS" - "Negotiate earn-out" / "earnout terms" / "retention bonus vs earn-out" - "Walk away from LOI" / "seller note" / "rollover equity in acquisition" Do not use for path choice (bootstrap vs VC) — use `saas-outcomes` first. Do not use for metric calculation — use `saas-metrics-calculator`. ## Authoritative Foundations - **David Skok.** Unit economics gate every exit. LTV:CAC <3x or payback >18 months compress multiples in diligence — fix before process. …

How to install
mdr add leadmagic/gtm-skills/exiting-company@sha256:641308a818531596The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
