What to expect
What happens on the call
You tell us about the business
What it does, roughly what it earns, and how involved you are day to day. No documents needed.
We give you an honest first take
An initial view of what the business could sell for, who the likely buyers are, and how a sale would work.
You decide the next step
If it makes sense, we prepare a free written valuation. If not, you leave with a clearer picture and no obligation.
Typically 15 minutes. No upfront fees, and nothing is shared with anyone.
How a sale works
Four stages, from first call to closing
- Stage 1 Valuation Up to 1 week
- Stage 2 Preparation Typically 2 weeks
- Stage 3 Marketing 3 to 6 months
- Stage 4 Closing 2 to 3 months
15-minute intro call
We learn about your business and situation, and give you an indicative value estimate over the phone.
Financials reviewed and recast
We review your financials in detail and recast them to present a picture of what the business actually earns.
A data-backed valuation
We share an opinion of value built on real transaction data for businesses like yours, and explain what it could be worth and why.
Formal engagement
We sign a 12-month engagement on simple terms: no upfront fees, and a success fee only when your business sells.
CIM and SBA pre-qualification
We prepare a Confidential Information Memorandum for serious buyers, and pre-qualify the business for SBA financing.
Data room setup
We build a repository of the financial, legal, and operating documents that buyers will need in diligence.
Buyer sourcing and qualification
We source buyers through our network and the major marketplaces, and qualify each one before they learn who you are.
Buyer introductions
We introduce you to serious buyers and prepare you for the questions they are likely to ask, and the answers that matter.
Offers and negotiation
We help you compare offers on price, structure, and risk, and work with you to develop the negotiation strategy.
Under contract
A letter of intent is negotiated and signed: a serious, non-binding offer that sets the price and key terms of the sale.
Due diligence
We facilitate due diligence, organizing the buyer’s requests and keeping the process on schedule.
Purchase agreement and closing
We help negotiate the final purchase agreement alongside your counsel, then support closing and a practical handover.
Typically 6 to 12 months end to end. Our fee is 9% at closing, and nothing before.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost?
Nothing until your business sells. Our fee is 9% of the sale price, paid at closing. There is no retainer, no valuation fee, and no marketing fee.
How do you keep the sale confidential?
Your business is never named in public marketing. Buyers see an anonymous summary, sign a non-disclosure agreement, and are screened for funding before they learn who you are. Employees, customers, and competitors do not find out from us.
What happens on the 15-minute call?
You tell us what the business does, roughly what it earns, and how involved you are day to day. You leave with a realistic value range and a clear view of whether a sale makes sense now. No obligation.
How long does a sale take?
Most owner-operated businesses sell in 6 to 12 months from valuation to closing. Well-prepared businesses priced in line with the market sell faster.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Owner-operated businesses with under $5 million in sales, across the US: services, trades, healthcare practices, food and beverage, e-commerce, retail, and more. If you are not sure yours is a fit, the call will tell you.
