Who We Serve

Common Seller Questions

How much is my business worth?

A business is worth what a real buyer will pay at closing. We provide a defensible range based on market comps and your business characteristics, but the final price is set by the market.

How much does selling cost?

No upfront retainer. No charge for conversations before you commit. Our fee scales up only when we beat the outcome you could have achieved on your own.

How long does it take?

Positioning a business for sale can take years. The formal process typically runs 9 to 18 months from decision to closing.

Who would buy my company?

Likely buyers include individual buyers using SBA financing, search funds, private equity platforms, and strategic competitors or adjacent companies.

How do I know if I can sell and retire?

Work backward from your annual income needs to the post-tax lump sum required, factoring in fees, debt, taxes, and deal structure.

What am I going to do after I sell?

We plan the transition with you, introduce wealth advisors and tax planners, and time the handoff so you are not making the biggest financial decision of your life while figuring out what comes next.

Fee Philosophy

Aligned fees. No upfront retainer. No charge for initial conversations. Our percentage scales up only when we beat the outcome you could have gotten on your own.
