The Secrets to the AI-Powered Exit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798895917817)

Got it, IngramSpark. Their description field is plainer than Amazon's, it feeds the wholesale catalogue that bookshops, libraries and international retailers order from, so no formatting, and it's fine to run slightly more informational since trade buyers read it too. Same Amazon rule applies: no URLs, contact details or social handles. Here it is, ready to paste:

Everyone said the same thing: work hard, grow your business, and one day sell it through a broker. They were wrong.

Eight or nine out of every ten businesses that go to market never sell. And the owners who do sell typically lose 30 to 50 percent of the price in fees and taxes. A $5 million business, sold the traditional way, leaves its owner with around $3 million. Twenty-five years of work, nearly half of it gone. Not to bad luck. To a game with rules nobody ever taught you.

In late 2020, Marc Adams was diagnosed with stage four cancer and given six months to live. He survived, and during his recovery his ten-year-old son asked him a question that changed everything: what happens to the families of the business owners who die without ever being able to sell? That question became Marc's mission: to change the way companies are bought, valued, and sold all over the world.

His first answer became the international bestseller The Secrets to 10Xing Your Business and Cashing Out Tax Free, featured in Times Square. This book is the next. Drawing on more than thirty years and over $2 billion of client growth and exit stories, Marc shows owners how to use AI, practically and inexpensively, to grow profit, cut costs, and make the business run without them; why AI alone will never double a company's value in six months, and the multiple game that will; how his unique aligned capital solution builds a group around a business with no equity given up, no debt, no personal guarantees, and no broker fees; and how owners who plan early legally keep up to 90 percent of the price instead of barely 60.

Two bonus chapters include real case files from live deals and a roadmap for life and income after the sale. Written from the deck of his boat between Venice and the Greek islands, this is a book by a man who practises exactly what he preaches, with free companion resources, including a personalized five-minute business value assessment, included inside.

Whether your exit is next year or a decade away, the price you sell for is being decided right now. Someday is a decision. Make a better one.

One heads-up for the form: IngramSpark also asks for a "short description" field, capped around 350 characters, which retailers show in search results. If it comes up, use this: "Eight out of ten businesses that go to market never sell, and those that do lose up to half the price in fees and taxes. Cancer survivor and bestselling author Marc Adams reveals how owners use AI to grow profit, double their value in six months with aligned capital, and legally keep up to 90 percent when they sell."
