How We Work with
Business Owners
We talk with business owners Like you about Your goals — for Your businesses and for Yourselves.
If you're interested in discussing what a deal would look like, let's see if your business would be a good fit for one of our Investment Partners.
This usually involves discussing specific business criteria that these investors are looking for — ranging from revenue and EBITDA to industry and geography.
Our
Proprietary Process
Here is an overview of our process. It's simple and transparent.
We want to understand your goals and questions when it comes to selling your business. We're happy to share our personal stories and M&A experiences and will keep this call or meeting short, casual, and introductory. The goal is to get to know each other.
We can sign an NDA to protect your confidential information and will review key information to see if your business is a good fit. For specific industries, we can provide benchmarks to help you identify strengths and areas of improvement. We can also share our list of industry-specific Investment Partners with you.
When you and your business are ready, we'll talk with our selected Investment Partners and give them a snapshot overview of your business. This can be "blinded" if requested so that the name of your business remains private.
We will help set up calls, Zooms, or meetings with the Investment Partners who are interested in learning more about your business. The goal is to get a conversation going that may or may not lead to a Letter of Intent (L.O.I.) or deal.
If everyone decides to pursue a deal together and a Letter of Intent (L.O.I.) is signed, we'll help coordinate parts of the deal process. We will work hard to help the deal reach the finish line.
