Golden Succession Advisors was founded with one mission: to help business owners avoid the mistakes that destroy value and lead to regret.
Our founder, Nicholas Costaras, Esq., has lived both sides of the deal table. A 4th-generation entrepreneur, Nicholas watched his own family’s business collapse post-exit due to a lack of planning. Years later, he helped a local software company 5x their valuation in four years through strategic exit planning.
He took that hard-earned wisdom, coupled it with 16+ years in M&A law and advisory, and built Golden Succession Advisors: a no-nonsense, expert-guided exit firm that puts owners back in control—before it’s too late.
We’ve supported $150M+ in transactions, guided owners across industries, and developed the Effortless Exit™ Framework that helps you:
Increase your business’s value
Eliminate risks that scare off buyers
Create urgency and competitive offers
Exit on your terms—with your legacy intact
We believe business owners deserve more than a payout. They deserve peace of mind, generational wealth, and a smooth transition into their next season of life.
Your exit isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning. We make sure your legacy is secure.
No jargon, no fluff. Just straight talk, expert strategy, and results.
We only succeed when you do.
No upfront fees. No regrets.
You built something great. Now let’s help you step into what’s next—stronger and wealthier than ever.
Nicholas isn’t just another advisor—he’s walked in your shoes. With 16 years of M&A experience and $150M+ in supported deals, he brings a rare mix of legal acumen, entrepreneurial grit, and transaction expertise.
He’s helped owners across the U.S. go from burnout and uncertainty… to clarity, confidence, and 8-figure exits. Whether you’re looking to sell in the next 24 months or need to move fast, Nicholas knows how to position your business, attract eager buyers, and negotiate deals that work for you—not the other side.
If you want someone who gets the job done—and gets where you’re coming from—you’ve found your guy.
