Leigh's Six-Figure Exit Story
Learn how one entrepreneur unlocked the critical tools of selling her ecommerce business... and how you can, too.
© Quiet Light
From immigrant to incredible exit.
Leigh immigrated to the US from Vietnam with her family at the age of nine. They had just $300 to their name, and her mom didn't speak english. From those humble beginnings, Leigh learned about business while working at her family's salon, and eventually started selling her own products on Amazon. She grew an impressive brand which she wanted to sell, but first had to address some underlying problems.
Product Sourcing
Leigh was sourcing and reselling many of her products herself, rather than manufacturing them. But buyers were interested in the private label products, but not the wholesale ones.
Better Deal Terms
Leigh wanted a clean and profitable exit that left her free to pursue her passion for travel and to start her next adventure. She needed multiple offers so she could negotiate the best deal terms.
Playing the Long Game
After speaking with Quiet Light advisor Joe Valley, Leigh decided to wait to list her business and work on the underlying issues that were hurting her valuation and keeping her from her ideal exit.
An Incredible Exit
By resolving the underlying issues and taking a long-term approach to her sale, Leigh was able to re-list her business six months later, nearly doubling her initial valuation and receiving five offers on the first day. Not only did she get her full asking price, she was also able to choose the best buyer and deal terms available.
Leigh forged her own incredible exit, and you can too.
I always wanted to travel, and after I exited the business it felt like it was the right time for us, so we decided to go to South Korea.

Praise for Quiet Light
“You put a lot of faith in your broker. It’s a very significant decision. Working with Quiet Light for the sale of my business was one of life’s great decisions. They packaged it beautifully, found the perfect buyer, and closed the sale at my asking price – all while keeping the hammer down and the communication flowing. For all this they have my gratitude, and the ultimate testimonial: my next sale.”
– John G
“When I was deciding to sell my business, it was like jumping into the deep side of the pool without any swimming experience. My first call with Quiet Light was like being thrown a lifesaver while explaining the entire process. I was originally planning to sell ASAP, but decided to follow their advice to wait a few months and optimize my business value. Sure glad I did, because it ended up increasing my valuation by a third."

“Before choosing a website broker, I made a list of all the things that were important to me in a broker. Most of the other choices had 4 or 5 of the 10 things that were important to me. Quiet Light had 14 out of the 10. Why 14? They brought to my attentions things that I would never even have thought of, and he executed flawlessly in finding me a buyer. I’ve been unable to find another broker at their level to this day, and I feel like they are truly the best in the business.”

Your online business is not our inventory to sell. It’s the product of your hard work, risk, and investment. Why would you settle for anything less than an incredible exit on your terms?
Working with Quiet Light's entrepreneur-led team puts you in the driver seat. Our refined process helps you receive multiple qualified offers and exit quickly to the buyer you choose, for the price and terms you designate.
Here's a quick look at our industry-leading process.
1
Your Initial Valuation Call
Whether you plan to sell now or in the future, it's important to get a sense of what your greatest asset is worth and how to set yourself up for maximum acquisition value when you’re ready.
During your call, you and your Quiet Light advisor will establish a broad value range for your business. This range is based on the most up-to-date multiples for your niche, plus factors like your team, run rate, and inventory.
2
Letter of Engagement
Once we have established your goals and agree on a path to a successful exit, we will sign a letter of engagement. Our engagement is only 90 days, so you will not be locked into any long-term contracts you can't get out of.
In fact, if we fail to meet your expectations you can end the engagement at any time.
3
Your Detailed Client Interview
Your client interview is tailored to your business. Our goal is to be as thorough as possible and ask you every question that a potential buyer might ask you, so you’re prepared with an accurate answer.
We’ll go through all the details of your business together, because nothing else matters if the numbers aren’t correct.
Finally, we’ll explore your business’ growth opportunities. Buyers love clear paths to growth — especially those that are already under way.

Public Listing
Using the information you’ve given us and our extensive experience evaluating online businesses, we’ll create a clear, enticing package that highlights your business’ strengths and admits its weaknesses.
Then, we will schedule your listing to go to market and manage the flow of inquiries. Our listings typically get dozens (if not hundreds) of inquiries and multiple qualified offers.
5
Finding the Right Buyer
Once all the offers come in, we will help you sort through them and find the right fit for your goals. Things we help you consider are sales price/multiple, cash at closing, and earnout terms.
When your buyer is ready to seal the deal, we’ll set you up with all the documents you need to plan a smooth, snag-free closing.
Eighty-five percent of Quiet Light listings sell in 90 days or less, so you won’t live in limbo for long.
