Selling Your Business

Is a big decision

Often the biggest financial decision of your life.

Very few CEOs have been through more than a couple of exits. This lack of experience results in a large percentage of failed transactions or companies selling for much less than they should have. Many times, CEOs and shareholders have no idea they left millions of dollars on the table.

Even worse, this lack of experience often results in sub-optimal terms and deal structures. Shareholders and executives end up with long-term, personal liabilities that can exceed the money they received for their shares.

We Only Do One Thing - Sell Businesses

Other firms are generalists and engage in a range of transactions including financings and restructurings. They might work for buyers or sellers. We are highly specialized and only do one thing - work with shareholders to get the best price and terms when they sell their business.

We pride ourselves on:

• maximizing the probability that your business actually gets sold
• getting you the optimum price and deal structure
• negotiating the fairest terms and limiting your future liabilities

To get the best result when you sell your business - you need the best exit team.

The First Step - Learn as Much as You Can

We believe the best place to start on your exit is to learn as much as you can. Selling your business is surprisingly different than selling your product or selling a house. Some of the differences are due to market fundamentals. Others are due to the distressing number of myths, misperceptions and outright lies that are common in the M&A Advisory or Investment Banking industry.
