The Committed Seller
You've made the decision. The business is stable. You're ready to exit at the best possible price, with the right buyer. You want a firm that won't rush the process and is firmly in your corner.
Selling the company you built is the biggest deal of your life. It deserves more than a process — it deserves a partner who treats yours like it's the only one.
Every seller comes to us in a different place. The work begins with understanding which one you are — and what success actually looks like from where you stand.
You've made the decision. The business is stable. You're ready to exit at the best possible price, with the right buyer. You want a firm that won't rush the process and is firmly in your corner.
You're not done — you're looking for the capital or partner that lets you go further. A minority stake, a majority recap, a rolled-equity sale. The exit isn't the end; it's the next round of fuel.
You're not ready to commit to a process — you're exploring what's possible. Maybe the timing is right, maybe it isn't. You want honest feedback, quiet conversations, and a clear understanding of what the market would actually pay before making any big decisions.
You've done this before. You know what a good process looks like and what a bad one costs. You want efficient, experienced, and straight talk.
We don't force a single process — we align the right approach to your situation.
Maximize outcome through competition. Full M&A process designed to create leverage, engage the right counterparties, and drive competitive tension to maximize price and terms.
Limits exposure to increase speed and discretion, while still leveraging the core tools of a professional M&A process. Ideal for time-sensitive or scenarios where there are preferred buyers, but competitive tension is still valued.
Quiet intros to pre-qualified buyers with minimal prep and no broad outreach. If something compelling comes up, you can engage; if not, nothing changes. Buyer pays the success fee.
A structured opening that gets to clarity quickly — without locking you into anything before you're ready.
Define objectives, constraints, and transaction parameters.
We outline the different paths — Full Process, Limited, or Opportunistic.
High-level valuation, buyer landscape, and strategic considerations.
Discreet outreach to test interest where appropriate. Optional.
Assess fit between you, the market, and the process.
Move forward with the strategy that best fits your situation.
This assumes a Full Process and the priority from our client is to maximize price and terms. As these priorities are adjusted, so to does the timeline.
You'll spend the most time with us in Discovery (weeks 1–4) and Negotiation (when we are receiving offers). The rest — packaging, buyer outreach, diligence coordination — is our job.
Everything you share with us is confidential from the first email. We'll sign an NDA on request, and we treat early conversations as privileged whether one is signed or not.
