The Problem

Why most deals fail

Most deals don’t fall apart because of price. They fall apart because reality shows up late. Hidden risk, fragile cash flow, owner dependency, and weak deal structure surface when it’s hardest — and most expensive — to fix.

For Business Owners

We help owners understand what a serious buyer will actually believe — and what needs to be addressed before going to market.

Exit readiness. Risk clarity. Transaction strategy.

For Buyers

We support buyers evaluating acquisitions by stress-testing cash flow, identifying risk, and pressure-testing deal terms before commitments are made.

How We Are Different

We are not brokers listing businesses, and we are not consultants fixing operations.

We focus on decision quality in high-stakes moments.

FAQ

Common Questions

When should I start planning to sell my business?

Ideally, 2–3 years before your target exit date. This lead time allows you to strengthen financials, reduce owner dependency, build management depth, and address any issues that could reduce your valuation or cause deal failure. Businesses that plan exits strategically sell for 30–50% more than those that go to market unprepared.

How much is my business worth?

Business value depends on revenue quality, profitability, growth trajectory, customer concentration, owner dependency, and market conditions. Professional valuations use multiple methodologies — Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), comparable transactions, and asset-based approaches — to arrive at a defensible range. For a preliminary estimate, try our free Business Valuation Tool.

What is an Exit Readiness Assessment?

An Exit Readiness Assessment evaluates how prepared your business is for a sale or transition. It examines cash-flow quality, risk concentration, operational independence, and deal friction. The result is a clear diagnostic with prioritized action items — not a valuation, but decision-grade clarity to help you understand where you stand before committing to a path.

Facing a high-stakes decision?

If you are selling, evaluating an offer, or considering an acquisition, the right first step is usually clarity.
