How We Sell Your Business
Selling a company is not a listing. It is a process, and most of the work happens before a buyer ever sees your name.
1. Confidential conversation. We talk about your business, your timeline and what you want out of the sale. No cost, no obligation, no pressure to sign anything. If it is not a fit, we will tell you.
2. Valuation and readiness review. We look at three years of financials, normalize your earnings, and give you a defensible value range based on what buyers are actually paying for companies like yours. We also flag the issues that will come up in diligence, because it is cheaper to fix them now than to renegotiate later.
3. Deal preparation. We build the confidential information memorandum, the blind teaser and the financial package a serious buyer needs. This is the work that separates a business that sells from one that sits.
4. Going to market. Your business gets marketed confidentially through our buyer network, industry contacts, and the major platforms including BizBuySell, BizQuest and Axial. Every inquiry is screened. Every buyer signs a non-disclosure agreement before receiving identifying information.
5. Negotiation and letter of intent. We manage buyer conversations, evaluate offers on structure rather than headline price, and negotiate on your behalf. The highest number is not always the best deal, and we will show you why.
6. Due diligence and closing. We coordinate with your attorney and accountant, manage the buyer's diligence requests, keep the deal moving, and get you to the closing table.
What This Costs
A one-time deal preparation fee at engagement, then a success fee at closing calculated on the total transaction value. The prep fee covers the valuation, the confidential information memorandum and the readiness work. The success fee is only earned if your business sells.
Exact terms depend on the size and complexity of the transaction, and everything is in writing before you commit.
