Helping Founders Grow Faster, Build Value, and Exit on Their Terms

 

I’m Gerald Meunier, founder of Exit Authority, powered by GRM Holdings LLC. I work with business owners who want more than just an exit — they want to scale, acquire, and position their company for a sale that delivers maximum value.

​

Over the last 30+ years, I’ve started, acquired, and sold multiple companies across different industries. I’ve been a business owner, an M&A advisor, and the owner of one of the largest business brokerage offices on the East Coast. These roles have given me a front-row seat to what makes a business attractive to buyers — and what holds it back.

​

An Acquisition-First Approach

 

Most advisors focus solely on organic growth. I’ve learned that strategic acquisitions can often accelerate growth — and valuation — far faster. By helping you identify, evaluate, and integrate the right acquisition targets, we can shorten the timeline to a high-value exit.

​

Whether your goal is to add complementary products, expand geographically, or consolidate market share, acquisition-led growth positions your business as a more attractive, scalable, and defensible investment for buyers.

Powered by AI for Precision & Speed

 

In today’s market, speed and data-driven precision can mean the difference between a good deal and a great one. I’ve integrated AI into my consulting process to deliver faster market research, smarter deal analysis, and more accurate valuation modeling than traditional methods alone.

​

That means we can:

​

• Spot opportunities before competitors

• Run rapid ROI scenarios on acquisition targets

• Model exit readiness in multiple market conditions

• Track and measure value-building milestones in real time

Partnership Beyond Consulting

 

Some founders want more than advice — they want a hands-on partner in the growth and exit process. In select cases, I partner directly with owners to share resources, reduce risk, and jointly execute an acquisition-led growth plan. This active involvement can include helping negotiate deals, securing financing, and structuring for an optimal sale.

​

The Exit Authority Difference

 

Working with me means you’re not getting a cookie-cutter playbook — you’re getting a custom growth and exit strategy designed for your unique business, industry, and goals. My clients appreciate that I speak the language of both entrepreneurs and investors, and that I’ve walked the path myself many times.

​

If you’re a founder of a $1M–$20M business and you’re ready to:

​

• Accelerate growth with acquisitions

• Build a more valuable, more sellable company

• Exit on your terms, for top dollar

• ​

… then let’s have a conversation.
