Confidential Discovery Consultation (90 minutes, senior partners) — A working session with the principals who would run your transaction, not intake staff. We learn the business as you would tell it: its history, its people, and what you want the next chapter to be.
Preliminary Valuation Assessment (delivered within ten business days) — An initial indication of the realistic private-market value of your business, based on comparable private transactions in your sector and geography, not public multiples that don't apply to you.
Transaction Readiness Review — An honest look at what a buyer will find: where the deal value lives, what will surface in diligence, and which two or three improvements would most increase your outcome. No obligation attached to any of it.
Path Recommendation — A plain-language recommendation: sell now, prepare to sell, acquire, or build, with the reasoning stated so you can disagree with us intelligently. Roughly a third of evaluations conclude that the owner's best move is not to transact yet. We tell you that when we believe it.
Request. Introduce yourself below. Two or three sentences about the business is enough — details can wait for the consultation.
Introductory call. A brief mutual screen: whether your situation fits our expertise, and whether we are the right counterpart for you. Either of us may conclude it isn't.
Discovery and delivery. The consultation, followed by your written materials under mutual confidentiality.
