Welcome to MichelleProtects.com
Guiding Families & Protecting Entrepreneurs, with Insight & Heart
So… You’re Thinking About an Exit Plan?
You're Not Alone—But You Might Feel That Way
You've poured your soul into your business. But when it’s time to let go—or even just explore options—things can get murky:
Advisors speak in confusing terms.
Brokers pressure you to list too soon.
And no one prepares you for the emotional weight of the process.
You’ve built a thriving business. Now you’re asking:
How do I protect it—and myself—during the next chapter?
A GUIDE WHO’S LIVED IT
Michelle Gets It—Because She’s Walked This Road Herself
Before becoming a certified exit strategist, Dr. Michelle Hedgecock was a successful dental practice owner.
She didn’t just sell her business—she navigated the highs, the doubts, the relief, and the second-guessing.
Now, as a Freedom Consultant, she helps other owners do the same—with less stress and more clarity.
Michelle doesn’t just talk about exits—she’s done it, and she’ll walk it with you.
