The Exit Eagle

The Exit Eagle, founded by Virginia Altman, has been in the business of helping other businesses to increase their business value and sale price for more than 30 years. “Value Improvement” is truly her life passion! Virginia has helped more than 40 business owners to sell their businesses, and even more to increase the profitability and/or value of the business. In a construction business, she re-presented the business to turn a financier’s “No” into a “Yes.” For a plumbing/HVAC/oil delivery company, she redesigned the business process system so that the work would get done more efficiently, and customers would pay their debt. That landed them a buyer that had turned up their nose previously. And she helped a taxidermy business go from red ink to a profitable, international business! Now, several years later, she is working with them to create a profitable exit plan. She can help your business, too. As owner of a telecommunications business, she increased sales by 26% in one-year across all revenue streams. At Corning Consumer Products, her work was primary in turning a -6% ROI into a +14% over a two-year period – which increased the sale price from $350 million to $700+ million. In the steel industry, she helped BHP Steel—Australian operations—increase their Australian-Asian competitiveness by implementing a visual factory, natural work groups and team resolution of recurring problems. Virginia is no stranger to the pressures and stresses small business owners face; she’s owned and sold several herself. Her credentials are solid, too: She earned a Masters in Public Management/ financial analysis from Carnegie Mellon University, and certification as a Chief Information Officer through Carnegie Mellon, too. She completed a master’s level program in business brokerage through International Business Brokers’ Association, and received certification as a Business Intermediary.
