Sell
Chart your course to a rewarding exit.
You've poured years into building your business. Now it's time to claim the ultimate dividend. Whether you plan to sell to an outside buyer, transition ownership to key employees, or pass the helm to the next generation, a successful exit doesn't happen by accident. Without proper preparation, founders risk leaving massive value on the table, getting trapped in deal drag, or facing severe seller's remorse after the ink dries.

At Escape Hatch Coaching, exit planning isn't just a financial transaction; it's your passage to total freedom. We work one on one with founders to fortify their business, document essential processes, maximize enterprise value, and protect the human element of your legacy.
All so you can escape to the life you dream of.

Your guide
Meet Andy Sistrunk.
Andy Sistrunk is the founder and lead coach at Escape Hatch Coaching, where he guides people through every stage of the business journey, starting a business in the hours around a day job, scaling one they've already built, selling for the next chapter, or setting it on autopilot to sail.
His whole philosophy comes down to stepping, not leaping: a clear, proven route out of the 9-to-5 rather than a reckless jump. A Florida native who grew up on the water, Andy is happiest on a boat with his wife, their son, and their dog, living the exact freedom he helps his clients build.
No hype and no guru act. Just a straight route he has walked himself.
