Legendary Exits Launches Free, 28-Day Exit Strategy Program for Business Owners

Legendary Exits, a Greenville-based exit planning and growth advisory firm for business owners, has launched a free assessment and 28-day email course to help business owners prepare for life after the exit. This program comes as an unprecedented wave of business ownership transitions approaches.

According to McKinsey’s February 2026 report, The Great Ownership Transfer, 12 million jobs representing 6 million businesses and $5 trillion in value are expected to change hands by 2035. For owners, the transition represents more than a transaction; it can fundamentally change how they spend their time, generate income, and define their lives. Yet according to PricewaterhouseCoopers, nearly 75 percent of owners who opt to sell their companies express profound regret within a year.

Unlike traditional exit planning, which often begins with valuation, tax, or transaction considerations, Legendary Exits begins with the owner’s desired life after the business and works backward to determine what the company must accomplish to fund the future.

"Many business owners spend decades building a company but don’t spend comparable time designing the life they’re building toward,” said Micah Brandenburg, founder and president of Legendary Exits. “Many of those owners have not answered the questions that matter most. So we're offering our methodology for free to help owners anywhere get clear on the biggest decision of their life.”

The Legendary Exit Assessment takes only about two minutes to complete and evaluates five personal dimensions: Life Vision, Freedom Number, Timeline, Exit Options, and Alignment. The assessment identifies the area where an owner needs the most support and automatically enrolls them in Exit by Design, a 28-day email course customized to that result.

With a single lesson each day, the Legendary Exit email course guides business owners through the questions and considerations involved in planning their exit. By the end of the 28 days, participants will have developed a one-page exit strategy in their own words.

The Legendary Exit Assessment and Exit by Design email course – typically part of Legendary Exits’ paid methodology – are now available at no cost. Business owners can take the Legendary Exit Assessment and enroll in Exit by Design at assessment.legendaryexits.com.
