About Marc Adams

Helping Entrepreneurs 10x Their Business Value and Exit Tax-Free

$2B+ Client exits facilitated4 decades M&A experienceBestselling author Amazon, Kindle & Audible$30M in 18 months Revenue stream built from scratch in Southeast Asia

Marc Adams is a sought-after strategy mentor and the best-selling author of Secrets to 10xing Your Business and Cashing Out Tax-Free. In his book, he shares exactly what business owners need to focus on to multiply their company’s value and secure tax-free exits. But Marc’s story goes far beyond traditional business success.

At the height of his career, Marc had achieved remarkable milestones—taking a company from $140 million to a $1 billion valuation, building a $30 million revenue stream from scratch in Southeast Asia in 18 months with no budget, and turning around a loss-making $15 million business to exit for $140 million. Many would consider these the pinnacle of success. But for Marc, his greatest triumph came from an entirely different battle. He was diagnosed with stage four cancer and given just six months to live. Faced with this diagnosis, it was a heartfelt comment from his 10-year-old son, Thomas, that shifted his mindset and gave him the strength to fight.

Amazingly, Marc survived—but it wasn’t due to conventional treatment. In a twist of fate, doctors believe that contracting the original strain of Covid-19 actually killed his cancer, saving his life. This astonishing story of survival redefined his perspective and approach, fueling his passion to help business owners achieve breakthroughs that defy expectations and create generational wealth.
