How do I know if now is the right time to sell my business?
If your company is generating steady revenue, has growth potential, and operates without you handling everything personally, you may be in a strong position to sell. Many business owners wait too long—starting the exit planning process early ensures you can sell your business on your terms and maximize value.
What’s the difference between a merger and an acquisition?
In a business acquisition, one company purchases another. In a merger, two businesses combine into one new entity. The best structure depends on your industry, goals, and how ownership is currently held. Our M&A advisors will help evaluate which path offers the most strategic and financial benefit for your exit.
How is the value of my business calculated in an M&A deal?
Business valuation is based on factors like EBITDA, annual revenue, growth trajectory, customer concentration, recurring income, and industry risk. We also account for intangible assets like brand equity and intellectual property when preparing your company for sale.
Is the M&A process confidential?
Yes—confidentiality is one of the most important parts of selling your business. We only present your business to vetted buyers who sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect your relationships with employees, vendors, and customers during the M&A process.
Who typically buys small to mid-sized businesses?
Buyers may include private equity firms, strategic corporate acquirers, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals. We’ll match your business with buyers who understand your industry and align with your values and long-term goals.
How long does it take to sell my business through an M&A advisor?
The average M&A process takes 6 to 12 months. This includes business valuation, buyer outreach, negotiations, due diligence, and final closing. With a structured exit strategy, our team helps ensure a smooth, well-managed process from start to finish.
