How It Works — Selling a Business

The Selling Process — Six Steps

1. Preliminary Financial Review — We review your financials to ensure they are presentable to a buyer. We calculate seller's discretionary earnings and apply an industry multiple to understand your business's approximate value.
2. Set Your Target Price — Based on our market analysis, we align on a realistic target price and what deal terms could look like from a buyer.
3. Create Your Listing — We generate a confidential listing based on your company's website and high-level financials to attract potential buyers.
4. Create Your CIM — A Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) is your business's professional prospectus. We help you create a compelling document that showcases your business to serious buyers.
5. Connect with Buyers — We market your business to our network of active buyers. You control who sees your information.
6. Close the Deal — When you find the right buyer, our experts support negotiation and closing. We're with you every step until the sale is complete.
