Process


A simple, confidential, and respectful path for business owners considering their next chapter.

  1. Confidential Intro Call

    We start with a short, private call. You tell the story of the business, what you want next, and what matters most to you. If it's not the right time, that's okay — we can stay in touch.

  2. Mutual Fit and Understanding

    If there's alignment, we dig in a bit deeper - the people, the operations, and the culture that made the company successful. This is also where you can evaluate us as a long-term owner.

  3. Clear, Straightforward Proposal

    If it continues to make sense, we share a simple, transparent proposal. Our goal is clarity and a structure that fits your timeline and priorities.

  4. Diligence and Planning the Transition

    Together we confirm the key details, then design a transition plan that protects customers and employees. Great transitions don't happen overnight - we plan for continuity and a thoughtful handoff.

  5. The Next Chapter

    Many owners want to stay involved for a period of time - others want a clean transition. Either way, the goal is the same: you move forward with confidence knowing the business is in good hands.

What makes this different
Common questions
Do I need to be ready to sell right now?

No. Many conversations start 6-24 months before any transaction. If timing isn't right, we can stay in touch.

Will this be confidential?

Yes. We keep conversations private and do not contact employees, customers, or vendors without your permission.

What if I want to stay involved after a sale?

That's common. We can structure a transition that keeps you involved in a way that fits your preferences.

How long does the process usually take?

It depends on your goals and complexity, but we aim to move at a thoughtful pace with clear steps and expectations.

Start a private conversation

If you're thinking about the next chapter — even if you're not sure you want to sell — I would welcome a confidential conversation.
