Patent for firm\u2019s proprietary B2B Exit software in effect until 2035<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

B2B CFO\u00ae, a national firm dedicated to providing management advisory services<\/a> to privately held companies, has received a patent for its B2B Exit software.<\/p>\n

Jerry L. Mills, founder and chief executive officer of B2B CFO, said the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved the firm\u2019s patent application on May 7, 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re relentless about the importance of protecting our firm\u2019s intellectual property,\u201d Mills said. \u201cThis patent application process took perseverance, but our efforts have paid off. B2B CFO is a one-of-a-kind company, and B2B Exit is a unique product.\u201d<\/p>\n

B2B Exit was created for business owners who are buying or selling a company. In essence, it helps them keep control of the sales or acquisition process by analyzing, adjusting and tracking differences between a company\u2019s current value and its target sale value. One of the best features of the software is it tracks the assignments given to each individual on the team and lets business owners know when important tasks are late. Time kills deals and Mills believes business owners should know when team members are not performing tasks on time.<\/p>\n

Bo Burlingham, award-winning author, editor-at-large of Inc.<\/i> and a columnist for Forbes, wrote about B2B Exit in his book Finish Big: How Great Entrepreneurs Exit Their Companies on Top<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Mills earned recognition from the Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors for his own book, The Exit Strategy Handbook: The Best Guide for a Business Transition<\/i>, which he wrote as a companion piece for the B2B Exit software program. The organization named Mills among the five finalists for its Middle Market Thought Leader Award in 2014. The annual award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions and impact on the middle market M&A space.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the patent at hand, we\u2019re ready to implement the upgrades we\u2019ve been working on for B2B Exit,\u201d Mills said. \u201cTo stay at the forefront of your market segment, you have to continually innovate and drive change.\u201d<\/p>\n
