Built For Business Owners With Complex Exit Needs
We specialize in M&A advisory for business owners in consolidating industries, especially those evaluating private equity interest, roll-up opportunities, or strategic acquirers.
Our clients pursue M&A for a range of reasons: preparing for retirement, accessing growth capital, navigating succession, or capitalizing on strong market demand. Whatever the motivation, we bring hands-on experience and strategic insight to help you achieve a successful outcome.

With deep experience across consolidating industries, we bring strategic insight to transactions in facilities services, professional services, industrial services, and consumer products & services, among others.
We understand the dynamics driving roll-ups and platform acquisitions in these sectors, and we tailor our approach to help clients navigate sector-specific challenges, unlock value, and succeed in increasingly competitive M&A environments.

Where Industry Understanding Meets Strategic Execution
We take the time to understand your industry’s nuances, from operational dynamics to market pressures. Our approach is built to reflect what matters most in your sector and drive results that align with your goals.
Our Mergers & Acquisitions Sell-Side Process
Our rigorous M&A sell-side process comprises five phases spanning preparation through integration:
We begin by learning your business inside and out; your goals, strengths, challenges, and industry landscape. This helps us align on a smart, realistic path forward and tailor our approach to your specific objectives.
Next, we prepare your business for market by strengthening its positioning and identifying key value drivers. We develop clear, compelling marketing materials and get your financials, documents, and internal processes in order, so you’re ready to make a strong impression on buyers.
We discreetly contact a curated list of qualified buyers, including strategic acquirers and private equity firms, who are actively investing in your industry. For wider sale processes, we run a structured auction with customized outreach, while maintaining confidentiality throughout.
Once offers are received, we guide you through the due diligence process, managing data requests, hosting the virtual data room, and ensuring buyer questions are addressed efficiently. Preserving stability while driving the deal to close is our top priority.
We lead negotiations around price, structure, terms, and documentation, drawing on deep experience to avoid common pitfalls. From LOI to close, we advocate for your interests and work to deliver the outcome that best aligns with your goals.
