Simple. Straightforward.
No surprises.
Selling a business shouldn’t feel like navigating a maze. Here’s exactly what it looks like to work with us — from first call to closing day.
Initial Conversation
We start with a call — no agenda, no pitch deck. We want to hear about your business, what you’ve built, and what you’re thinking about for the future. No pressure to move forward. This is just two people getting to know each other.
Understanding Your Business
If there’s mutual interest, we’ll take a closer look. What we’re looking for isn’t complicated: a proud owner, happy customers, and a team with the culture to keep it going. We do this collaboratively, not like an audit — our job is to understand what makes your business work, not to find reasons to walk away.
A Clear, Fair Offer
We put together a straightforward offer that reflects the real value of what you’ve built. We can typically get you an offer within 2 weeks of our first conversation. We’ll walk you through every element of it, answer every question, and give you the time you need to make the right call for yourself, your family, and your team.
Close & Transition
Once you accept the offer, we share a formal purchase agreement and get moving. Our data requests are minimal, and we’ll help you pull together anything we need — we’re not here to make this harder than it has to be. We can typically close in less than two months. Your crew stays, your name stays, your standards stay.
Questions we get asked.
From first conversation to a signed offer typically takes 2 weeks. Once you accept, we share a formal purchase agreement and get moving. Our data requests are minimal, and we’ll help you pull together anything we need. We can typically close in less than two months.
We look at your revenue, profitability, customer base, team, and the market you operate in. We present a transparent, straightforward offer — no lowball number to start a negotiation. All terms are upfront so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to before you sign anything. We want you to feel good about this deal long after it closes.
No. The employee ownership structure is something we fund ourselves as part of how we operate. It is entirely separate from the price we pay you for your business. Your check is your check — the ownership your team earns comes on top of that, not instead of it.
That’s entirely up to you. Some owners want a clean exit and that’s completely fine. Others want to stay involved in some capacity — we welcome that too. We’ll structure the transition around what makes sense for you, your family, and the business. That said, we do require a minimum transition period for owners who want to exit, to make sure the handoff goes smoothly and your people are set up for success.
Your crew stays. We don’t buy businesses to restructure them. The people who made your company what it is are the people who keep running it — and under our model, they also become owners. That’s one of the things that makes this a different deal for everyone involved.
