Industries served

We are generalists. Every business can be sold.

You do not need an expert on your business. You need someone with expertise in the process of selling one. That includes how to market a business professionally and how to value it properly.

Industries sold

Businesses we have actually sold.

Not a list of sectors we would like to work in. Each of these is a completed transaction.

The honest answer

“Have you sold a business like mine?”

It is the most common question we get, and the answer is that it matters less than you would think. We believe all businesses can be sold. As long as the business broker and the business owner are persistent, there is a buyer who will find value in the business. The key to success is rational expectations and exceptional tenacity.

What does transfer between industries is the process: how to prepare financials that survive a lender’s underwriting, how to market a business without naming it, how to qualify a buyer before they waste your time, and how to hold a deal together through due diligence. That is the expertise you are buying.

What we do not sell

Two things, for the avoidance of doubt.

  • Residential property. We handle commercial real estate only where it transfers with the business.
  • Businesses under two years old, or without a well-maintained bookkeeping system. A valuation on those is rarely useful, and we would tell you so rather than take the engagement.

Proven results
