Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to help you make confident financial decisions.

I’ve never sold a business before — where do I even start?

You’re not alone. Most of our clients are first-time sellers. We start with a no-pressure conversation to understand your goals, timeline, and concerns. From there, we’ll walk you through the process step by step — no jargon, no assumptions.

How long does it take to sell a business?

Most deals take 6 to 12 months from start to finish, depending on your level of preparation and the buyer pool. We’ll help you control the pace and ensure there are no unnecessary delays.

Do I need to have everything in order before talking to you?

Absolutely not. Part of our job is helping you identify and clean up issues before going to market. Whether it’s normalizing financials, addressing staffing gaps, or prepping for due diligence, we guide you through it.

What is my business worth?

Valuation depends on a number of factors: cash flow, industry, customer mix, management depth, and more. We help you understand what buyers will likely pay and how to position your business to maximize value, but the market ultimately tells you what your business is worth.

Will my employees or customers find out I’m selling?

Not if we can help it. We run a discreet process with strict confidentiality protocols. No marketing blasts, no public listings — only targeted outreach to qualified buyers under NDA.

What happens if I’m not ready to sell?

That’s okay. We regularly work with owners 1–2 years before a transaction. In fact, the earlier we’re involved, the better your eventual outcome. We’ll give you specific steps to take — or tell you honestly if now’s not the right time.
