Big Ideas, Real Impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Traditional brokers typically focus on listing and marketing a business as-is. Our process begins earlier. We enhance value through exit readiness first—strengthening operations, financial clarity, and buyer alignment—then execute the sale. This results in stronger buyer interest, better terms, and a higher likelihood of closing.

  • Timing depends on the starting point and the owner’s goals. Some businesses can become market-ready in a few months, while others benefit from a longer value-enhancement period. Our assessment defines what matters most and prioritizes changes that have the greatest impact on value and saleability.

  • We work with established, owner-operated and lower middle-market businesses that have consistent revenue and real buyer potential. Our process is best suited for companies where improving structure, clarity, and risk profile can meaningfully increase value at exit.

  • That’s common—and often ideal. Exit readiness improves decision-making regardless of timing. Owners who prepare early gain optionality: they can sell when conditions are favorable, recapitalize, or continue operating a stronger, more resilient business.

  • We evaluate the business through a buyer’s lens—focusing on risk, sustainability, and scalability. Our recommendations are data-driven and prioritized based on what buyers consistently reward with higher valuations and better deal terms.

  • The best time is once the business is truly exit-ready. Because we handle both preparation and brokerage, we help owners avoid going to market too early and ensure the sale process begins only when the business is positioned for maximum value and a smooth close.
