Helping Small Businesses Change Hands
Welcome to Change Pilot!
Change Pilot is helping entrepreneurs like you exit their businesses on top. We do this by skillfully navigating (or “piloting”) the complex process of valuing and selling your business.
You likely have the following questions:
What is my business worth?
How do I find a buyer?
How do I list it for sale without scaring my customers, suppliers, and employees?
How do I negotiate the price and the terms to complete the transaction?
You have likely heard that 70-80% of businesses are “unsellable” and don’t want to be in that group.
Change Pilot is committed to making your sale a success. We will find the right price for your business, using industry valuation methods and metrics. We will market your business, find the right buyer, and negotiate terms that ensure you reach your goals. We will be with you every step of the way.
Whether you've built a successful engineering firm, a thriving restaurant, a consulting practice, or a beloved gym, it’s time to be rewarded for the value you've created. Our mission is to get a deal done and ensure you receive maximum value upon exit. You deserve a broker who has owned their own business and understands you.
We pride ourselves on building lasting relationships and delivering exceptional results.
Trust Change Pilot to facilitate a smooth and successful exit from your small business. Contact us today to start your exit.

"We were completely intimidated by the idea of selling our business and had no idea where to start. Enter Rob O'Brien from Change Pilot. From the get-go, Rob was knowledgeable and professional, guiding us through every step of the way with ease.
Rob asked all the right questions and provided a thorough valuation of our business, helping us confidently ask for what our business was worth. His expertise took the stress away from what could have been a nerve-wracking experience, allowing us to continue focusing on our day-to-day operations.
Having Rob represent us through the negotiations was invaluable. I only wish we had called him sooner. If you're even remotely considering selling your business, I highly recommend having an initial discussion with Rob. You won't regret it."
