Cash at close, seller notes and earnouts are all on the table.

We're flexible on who runs the company post transaction.

What changes, and what doesn't

What changes
Who owns the company
The balance sheet behind it
Who personally guarantees the debt
How much of the owner's net worth rides on one company
The resources behind the team: capital, software, programs, an operating partner
What doesn't
The name on the door
The people, and where they work
The number your customers call

How a sale works

  1. 01

    A conversation

    Confidential, with the right people on our side who make the decisions.

  2. 02

    Straight talk on the deal

    At the first meeting we tell you how we work, and we always stick to that.

  3. 03

    An offer in writing

    Price, structure and what happens to your people, in plain language.

  4. 04

    Diligence and close

    Done respectfully, with your team's time in mind. Then the company stays where it is.

What our sellers say
