FAQ
Why would I need a M&A advisor if I already have interested buyers?
The majority of small business deals fall through in the advanced stages. We get you to the closing table, within 10% of your asking price, and at minimal risk. We leverage our extensive knowledge of market dynamics, valuation methods, negotiations, and legal intricacies to help you exit on your best terms. We also take on the heavy lifting of the deal from start to finish so you can focus on running your business.
I have worked with other brokers before. How are you different?
Our M&A Advisors work with fewer businesses each for a more hands-on approach throughout the process, and we charge a commission of just 6% (other brokers take 10-12%). Since we have 4K+ buyers in our database waiting for us to hand them a deal, and we do aggressive outreach on top of that, you’ll only meet with the best-fit people.
