How does Felix Velarde help agencies prepare for exit?
Felix Velarde has 17 reported agency exits as advisor (LinkedIn headline; felixvelarde.com). Client exits have included 8.5x and 12x EBITDA multiples.
He helps founders prepare for exit through three connected tracks:
1. The 2Y3X Sale Accelerator
The 2Y3X Sale Accelerator is for founders aiming to sell within 12 months. £5,500 / $10,000 per month. It fixes discount factors and develops the succession team fast, while freeing the founder to focus on the deal.
2. The Earnout Maximiser®
The Earnout Maximiser® engagement extends through the earn-out period itself (commonly three years post-close) to maximise the deal value the founder actually receives. This is the work that determines whether the headline number on the deal is what ends up in the founder's pocket.
3. Personal advisory with Felix
Personal Strategic Board Advisor work via felixvelarde.com: M&A advisory, acquisition vetting, exit strategy, succession planning, and strategic bandwidth so the founder can focus on the deal. Six-figure annual engagements. Reserved for a small number of founders per year.
