Buyers who can actually close.
Every inquiry is screened before it reaches you, and the buyer’s financing is worked out in-house — not left to hope a stranger’s bank comes through.
Sell your business
Sell your business,
confidentially.
An exclusive, broker-led mandate: a documented valuation first, disclosure in stages you control, and buyers who are already qualified — including the financing — before they ever reach you.
Free to start. No listing, no credit check, no obligation.
What a buyer earns, in order
- 01A blind teaser — never your name
- 02A signed NDA, then the memorandum
- 03The data room, on recorded access
- 04A named listing — only if you choose
Staged disclosure is the default, not an upgrade.
Every buyer pre-qualified
You control what buyers see
Success fee at close only
How it works
A considered process,
start to close.
Selling a business is not posting a listing and waiting. It is preparation, packaging, qualified buyers and a managed run to the finish.
- 01
A free exit-readiness check.
Tell us about the business and what you want from a sale. You get a documented read of where it stands and a valuation band — before anyone knows you are thinking about selling.
- 02
Engage and agree.
If selling makes sense, you sign an exclusive mandate: the plan, the fees and the disclosure tier you choose, all in writing before anything is marketed.
- 03
We prepare, recast and market.
We recast your records into the numbers buyers price on, write the blind teaser and the confidential memorandum, and take them to buyers we have already qualified.
- 04
Offers, diligence, close.
Inquiries, NDAs, offers and diligence are managed on one timeline you can see. The success fee is charged only when the sale completes.
The market, honestly
Most listings don’t sell.
Preparation is why.
These are the reported figures for the US Main Street market — context, not a promise about your sale. They are what a prepared business and a qualified buyer pool are built to change.

Of listed businesses that actually sell
Reported market context for US Main Street business sales — not a forecast. What a business like yours could sell for is what the exit-readiness check is for.
Why owners work with us
Built for the part that usually fails.
Most sales stall on unprepared sellers and unqualified buyers — not on price. Both problems are designed out of the process from the first step.
Confidentiality in stages, set by you.
Blind teaser, signed-NDA memorandum, then the data room. A named public listing only ever happens if you opt in. Each buyer earns the next layer.
Fees published before you sign.
The schedule is public: a free exit-readiness check, consultations at fixed prices, and a success fee of 10%, 8% or 5% by deal band — at close, never before.
The whole process in view.
Every inquiry, NDA and offer lands on one live timeline you can open any time. You never have to wonder what your broker did this month.
Who this is for
Main Street businesses,
taken seriously.
We work on exclusive mandates for businesses roughly $100K to $5M in deal size. If yours sits outside that band, the readiness check says so and points somewhere better.

Market figures are reported industry context, not a forecast or a promise about any individual sale.
A business sale takes preparation and the right buyer. Nothing here guarantees a sale, a price, or a timeline — outcomes vary by business.
Nothing on this site is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, a security. Businesses listed here are sold as going concerns under a brokerage mandate, not by securities offering.
