Meet Don Emmett, CBI, CeXP

Don Emmett is a Certified Business Intermediary and Certified Exit Planner — and, more unusually for this profession, he spent more than 30 years on the owner’s side of the table first. Before becoming a broker in 2007, Don served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing and a Principal for a $20 million group of electronic component distribution companies, and went on to invest in, manage, and buy and sell several businesses of his own. He advises from the owner’s seat: he knows the personal and financial weight of an exit, not just the mechanics.

Who they work with

Owners of established Triangle-area businesses — typically $500K to $10M in revenue — thinking about exit timelines, weighing an unsolicited offer, planning a family succession, or simply wanting a confidential, realistic read on what their company is worth and what to fix before going to market.
