SELL-SIDE SERVICES
Getting the right outcome from the sale of your business requires experienced hands.
We specialize in assisting small and medium-sized businesses, typically with $5+ million in revenue or $1+ million in earnings (or $1 million in ARR for SaaS companies), who are looking for a full or partial sale to an outside buyer, an internal transition to a management team, the next generation of family ownership, or an ESOP.
Some people are serial entrepreneurs or professional business investors and go through the process of buying and selling businesses a number of times. But for most people, selling the business they have invested a significant part of their life building is one of the biggest financial decisions they will make, potentially impacting the rest of their lives.
Our experienced team undertakes an in-depth process of research and discovery to find the right buyer for your business. We work to closely understand both your business and the broader industry in order to uncover more potential buyers. Some processes can take time, but we pride ourselves on our persistence and determination in finding the deal that is right for you.
We understand the importance of this decision and we approach our client engagements with thoughtful sensitivity to your goals throughout the process, combined with effective and efficient deal execution skills when the time and situation are right. We are also able to provide an outside perspective on our clients’ businesses, helping them understand and communicate their highest value proposition to potential buyers.
Commitment to Confidentiality
At some point during the transaction process, your employees, customers, competitors, and others will learn about your plans to transition your business. For many of them, this information will be shared only after the deal is done. Revealing that you are selling your business to employees and customers too soon can be highly disruptive, and potentially jeopardize a successful transaction. If your competitors find out, it can be devastating if they pursue and win your key customers away.
We work with you to carefully screen the list of potential buyers to approach and make sure that non-disclosure agreements are in place before sharing any identifying information with them. Then we deliberately step through a process that reveals your most sensitive information only to the most serious and qualified buyers on an as-needed basis.
