Escrow

The riskiest week of any acquisition is the one where money and keys change hands. On ExitToBuy that week runs on one rail, through licensed escrow, with a complete record.

How the close works

  • Funds are deposited into licensed escrow — held by a regulated third party, not by ExitToBuy and not by either party.
  • Closing documents (APA and related agreements) are generated from the verified deal file, so the paperwork matches the diligence.
  • Escrow releases only on mutual confirmation — both buyer and seller confirm conditions are met before money moves.
  • Every step is recorded, giving both sides — and any lender — a clean audit trail.

Why escrow is non-negotiable here

Wiring six or seven figures on the strength of an emailed PDF is how buyers get hurt. Licensed escrow removes the counterparty risk at the exact moment it peaks, and it applies to every transaction — the same protection on a $300K main-street business as on a $20M operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who holds the money in escrow?

A licensed, regulated third-party escrow agent — never ExitToBuy and never the buyer or seller directly. Funds are released only when both parties confirm closing conditions are met.

Does every deal use escrow?

Yes. Escrow is part of every transaction on the platform, regardless of deal size.
