MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hey, I’m Sam Cooper
Exit Strategist & Accredited Value Builder Advisor
I’ve spent the last 18+ years building, scaling, and successfully exiting SMEs—so I know firsthand what it’s like to be the person holding everything together... and what it takes to finally step back.
In fact, my journey into exit planning began when I helped my own father retire from the family business—and not long after, I exited myself. I’ve lived this, not just coached it.
Today, I help other business owners do exactly that. As a Certified Value Builder™ advisor and creator of the Retire On Your Terms Program, I work with owners who want to:
Get their time back
Build a business that runs without them
And ultimately exit on their terms—profitably, confidently, and without regret.
Whether you’re a few years from selling or just starting to think about life beyond the business, I’ll help you unlock the hidden value in what you’ve built—and make sure you’re not leaving anything on the table.
Because when you build a business the right way, you don’t just sell it—you buy back your freedom.
Who's This Perfect For
You’re the bottleneck in your business
You’ve built something great, but feel trapped in it
You’re unsure what your business is really worth
You want to create recurring income after stepping back
You’re craving more time, freedom, and clarity

Frequently Asked Questions
You Might Be Wondering…
Can I exit but still keep some income?
Yes—many owners retain income post-exit through partial sales, licensing, or by keeping a business that runs without them.
Is it too early to start exit planning?
Not at all. The earlier you start, the more control you have—and the more value you can build.
What if I don’t want to sell—just step back?
Perfect. This framework helps owners remove themselves from the day-to-day whether they want to sell or just gain time and freedom.
How much time will this take each week?
Plan for 1–2 hours. Weekly training + one live coaching call. That’s it.
Does this apply to my industry?
Yes—this works across all industries because it’s based on how the business functions, not what it sells.
What if I don’t have a buyer yet?
That’s okay. We focus on making your business attractive and ready so that when the right buyer comes along—you’re in control.
