Our Services

As a sell-side advisor, we draw upon our industry expertise and years of experience to develop and implement a custom marketing strategy for your company based on its size, industry, and your objectives. In most cases, this involves us proactively marketing your company to a highly targeted list of prospective buyers or investors to help you maximize the value of your company.

To do that we typically run a formal sell-side process during which we prepare a professional offering package including a seller profile, a confidential information memorandum, and an integrated financial model that describes your business – then we proactively market your company to a group of targeted buyers. This increases the probability you will receive multiple offers for your business and get the best combination of price and terms. We manage the process and work closely with you from start to finish to ensure we accomplish your goals.

To learn more about selling your business, please contact us for a no-cost, no-obligation conference call. We would be happy to answer any questions and help you explore your options.
