Thinking about retirement, burnout, or a strategic exit?

Whether you're planning years ahead or you're ready now, the goal is the same: exit on your terms, at a price that reflects what you actually built — without your employees, customers, or competitors finding out until you choose. Succession, retirement, a partner buyout, or simply moving on to what's next — every path starts with a confidential, no-obligation conversation. The most expensive exit is almost always the unprepared one.

Start with a number: the free valuation calculator takes about two minutes and needs no signup. Or tell me about your business directly.

What you get

Confidentiality.

Your employees, customers, and competitors don't find out you're for sale. We control who sees what, and when.

A real valuation.

Most owners don't know what their business is actually worth at exit. We model recast earnings, market multiples, and buyer fit before pricing.

A network of qualified buyers.

You don't sell to whoever walks in — you sell to a pre-vetted buyer who has the capital and the fit to actually close.

Leverage at the table.

A first-time seller negotiates against full-time acquirers with lawyers and CFOs. We level the field.

What it costs

Most brokers make you ask. Here is the short version, with the full breakdown on its own page.

  • Straight success fee. The main-street standard for owner-operated businesses: a single percentage of the final sale price, paid at closing out of proceeds, usually paired with a minimum fee. If the business doesn't sell, no success fee is owed.
  • Tiered scale for larger deals. As deal size grows, a flat percentage stops making sense and the rate steps down on each portion of the price above the first.
  • Retainer plus success fee. Some engagement-heavy deals carry a retainer that funds real preparation work months before any buyer appears. The question to ask is whether it is credited against the success fee at closing.

The engagement letter states which structure applies to your sale before you sign anything. The first conversation and the valuation are free.

How the process runs

  1. Confidential consultation.

    Tell me your goals. No fee, no obligation — and nothing leaves the room.

  2. Valuation & strategy.

    We model what the business is worth at exit and set a realistic price, timeline, and target-buyer profile.

  3. Preparation.

    Financials are recast and the story is packaged into a blind teaser — so buyers see the opportunity, not your identity.

  4. Buyer identification.

    We reach a pre-vetted network of qualified buyers under NDA, released to your information stage by stage.

  5. Negotiation.

    Offers, terms, and structure are negotiated on your behalf, with the leverage of a full-time professional at the table.

  6. Due diligence.

    The buyer verifies while we manage the flow inside a secure deal room, so momentum — and confidentiality — hold.

  7. Closing & transition.

    Documents are signed, funds change hands, and a transition plan hands the business over cleanly.

Step by step, with the deal platform it runs on: how it works.
