Frequently asked questions

Expert answers for founders

Get clear, straightforward answers to common questions about our advisory, M&A, and capital solutions. We help you navigate every step.

When do I know it’s the right time to sell my business?

Most owners know it’s time to sell when one or more of the following is true:

The best time to sell is when your business is healthy, you still have energy, and buyers have  confidence in the future upside. If you’re unsure where you stand, we offer confidential strategy calls to help you assess  timing with clarity and data—not emotion.

  • Your business has hit a growth ceiling and needs capital or new leadership to scale.
  • You’re ready to de-risk personally and convert years of work into liquidity.
  • Market conditions or valuations in your industry are unusually strong.
  • You’re feeling operational burnout or want to pursue new opportunities.
  • Key metrics—revenue, margins, customer retention—are trending upward and attractive to buyers.
How long does the M&A process usually take?

A typical sell-side process takes 6–9 months from preparation to closing. Buy-side acquisition timelines vary based on target availability and due diligence, usually 3–12 months. We work quickly and efficiently without sacrificing deal quality.

Our Exit Readiness Consulting helps owners tighten these areas to increase valuation and buyer confidence.

What is my business worth?

Valuation depends on revenue, margins, cash flow, EBITDA, growth, industry comparables, market conditions, leadership structure, and operational quality. We provide a detailed, data-driven valuation using comps, buyer trends, and recent transactions in your vertical.

How do you find buyers?
Will the process stay confidential? 

Absolutely. We never disclose your business name or sensitive details without permission. All outreach is done discreetly to protect employees, customers, and partners.

What sets your firm apart? 

We provide senior-level execution, deep operational expertise, hands-on guidance, strong buyer relationships, and a tailored, full-service approach. Your transaction is one of the biggest moments of your career—we treat it that way.

How do I get started?
