When the read says sell
Sell your business, through us.
When you are ready, we run the sale from your Seat: the right buyer, the right structure, the right price, with people who have sat on your side of the table.
Four ways through.
Outside sale.
Sell to a buyer in the market.
Internal transition.
Hand it to family or your team, over time.
Employee ownership.
An ESOP or an employee ownership trust.
Hold and professionalize.
Keep it, and make it run without you.
We help you pick the one that fits what you want after, not just the highest bid.
How we are paid.
A success fee at close, on the standard lower-middle-market scale (the Double Lehman): 10% of the first $1M of the deal, 8% of the second, 6% of the third, 4% of the fourth, and 2% on everything above $4M. A $50,000 minimum.
A monthly retainer of $3,000 to $8,000 while we prepare and run the process, credited in full against the success fee.
And half of what you have already paid us, Seat and pods, credits against the deal.
The work you did to get ready pays for itself twice, in a higher number and in fees that come back.
It is a senior advisor, and it is free. If the timing is wrong, we will say so.
