Insights
Practical thinking on valuation, preparation and exit routes, written for founders, not advisers.
The business was ready. I wasn't.
Comma Group's due diligence found two issues. Its founder was far less prepared.
Two assessments, not one
Founders assess the business obsessively before an exit. The personal analysis disappears.

How is TFE® different from a broker or M&A adviser?
TFE® doesn't sell your business. It prepares it. Brokers step in once you're ready to go to market. TFE® gets you ready beforehand, so when you do bring in an adviser, you negotiate from strength.
Is there a free trial, and do I need a card?
Yes, there's a trial, and no, you don't need a card. Every founder gets 14 days of full Preparation access free. Education stays free for good.
Will anyone know I'm preparing to sell?
No. Nobody is told: not your team, not buyers, not advisers. You decide if and when to share anything.
Is The Founders Exit® FCA-regulated?
No. TFE® is an educational and exit preparation platform, not a regulated financial adviser. Its outputs are designed to prepare you for professional advisory conversations, not replace them.
