The Vault
A Complete Toolkit for Selling Your Business
Everything you need to prepare your business for sale — organized, practical, and built from real transaction experience.
Every guide includes step-by-step instructions so you can put what you're learning into immediate action.
Most Business Owners Go Into a Sale With a Broker and a Hope
What they don't have is a system. The Vault gives you the frameworks, checklists, and language guides built around what actually happens in a transaction — and what can go wrong if you're not prepared.
Your broker wants a deal to close. Your attorney responds to what you bring them. Your CPA files what you give them. None of them are going to walk you through the buyer's playbook before you need it.
The Vault does exactly that.
What's Inside
Downloadable guides, worksheets, and frameworks organized by every stage of the business sale process.
Before You Engage a Buyer
Seller Financing Reference Guide
Understand seller financing structures, when they make sense, and how to protect yourself if a buyer proposes one.
Types of Business Sales
Asset sale, stock sale, or membership interest sale — know which structure applies to your business and how each one affects your tax liability and risk exposure.

Your business is probably worth more than your tax returns show. These guides and worksheets help you capture what buyers need to see to value it correctly.
Read: What Is SDE and Why It Matters →Questions for Your Advisors
Questions to Ask Your Legal Counsel
You're paying for their expertise by the hour. These questions help you show up like a sophisticated seller — directing the conversation instead of paying to be educated on the basics.
Questions to Ask Your Insurance Agent
A coverage gap discovered during due diligence can kill a deal. Know what to ask before it becomes a problem.
Questions to Ask Your Personal Wealth & Tax Advisor
The tax consequences of a sale can be significant. Make sure your advisor is working proactively — not just reacting after the deal is done.
Preparing Your Business for Market
NDA Examples & Red Flags
Not all NDAs protect you equally. Review real examples and learn what language to watch for before you share anything with a prospective buyer.
Read: Keeping a Business Sale Confidential →How to Create Your Preliminary Offering
The teaser package is your business's first impression with prospective buyers. Learn what a strong one looks like — and what a weak one signals before a conversation even starts.
Finding the Right Broker
The right broker changes your outcome. The wrong one costs you money and time. Know how to evaluate, interview, and select the right fit.

All of the documents needed for due diligence, organized and ready. Stop scrambling and start leading the process.

Letter of Intent Guide & Red Flags
A Letter of Intent isn't just a formality. Understand every clause, know what to watch for, and recognize when terms are being shaped against you.
Read: Letter of Intent (LOI) in a Business Sale →Final Contract Red Lines
The contract is the last place you want to find a surprise. Know what language to flag, what to push back on, and what should never be agreed to without counsel.
Read: What Happens After the LOI →After the Sale
Life After Your Business
Post-sale obligations, retaining copies of corporate documents, why it matters, and how to do it. The decisions that follow the sale matter as much as the sale itself.
These tools don't replace your advisors. They make sure your advisors are working for you — not just educating you at $450 an hour.
