  • We will expand the pool of qualified domestic and foreign buyers to create a competitive sale process that favors the selling client's negotiating position. 
  • We will protect the seller from inquiries by unqualified buyers so that the selling client can concentrate on running his or her business.

What Makes Us Different

  • Our business is helping the owners of privately held companies in the selling process, period.  This is all we do.  
  • Our business valuations are based on our years of experience selling privately held companies.  
  • We provide guidance on positioning your company for a sale, even if you are several years away from going to market.
  • We coordinate, as required, the activities of the other professionals, such as legal counsel and accountants to complete the actions necessary to close the transaction.
