About us
Exit planning isn’t just about selling a business; it’s about building something with more value and long-lasting. Since 2005, The Exit Planning Institute® (EPI) has been redefining how business owners and their advisors think about exit strategy and value creation. We’re not here just to teach exit planning education to advisors; we’re here to build significant companies and revolutionize the way businesses prepare for the future. We are proud to serve a high-caliber group of professional advisors, committed to serving the needs of business owners. The Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®) Credentialing Program is the only program of its kind that has equipped thousands of elite advisors - think Attorneys, Accountants, Financial Planners, Business Brokers, Wealth Managers, Estate Planners, and more - with the tools to: - Build enterprise value, - Align personal, business, and financial goals, and - Turn exit planning into a revenue-generating powerhouse. Why does it matter? Because exit planning is great business planning. And great businesses don’t just happen - they’re made by integrating best-in-class business practices into daily operations. The Value Acceleration Methodology™ is the process taught during the CEPA Program which integrates exit strategy into business, personal, and financial goals of the business owner. So, whether you’re a professional advisor looking to elevate your practice or a business owner with big dreams, we’re here to make sure you succeed. Ready to take the next step?
