What to look for in an offer
The price is only one line of the offer.
01
How much you get at closing.
Earn-outs and vendor notes can push a big part of the price into the future. Some of it may never arrive.
02
The working capital target.
Set too high, it quietly takes money off the price on closing day.
03
Holdbacks and escrow.
Part of the price is held back to cover claims. How much, and for how long, matters.
04
Exclusivity.
Once you sign the letter of intent, you usually cannot talk to other buyers for months.
05
What happens in diligence.
If the price is not protected, a buyer can find reasons to lower it once they are inside the business.
06
Your role after the sale.
How long you stay, the non-compete, and what happens to your people are often settled in a few lines.
Much of this can still be negotiated before you sign. And if the offer is weak, the better move may be to fix what buyers discount, then go to market on your terms.

Track record
What preparation changes.
$5M$25M
Built to run without its founder.
An owner-dependent business, being rebuilt with a real team and a repeatable sales engine before it goes to market, so buyers compete for a company, not a job.
Metal Fabricator
$70M$100M
The story, finally told properly.
A strong business whose value is hidden by its reporting. Clean financials and a prepared data room will let buyers bid on its strengths instead of discounting for risk.

Questions
Before you book.
Is the review really free?
Yes. The call and the review are free, with no obligation.
Am I allowed to share the offer with you?
Yes. No offer should stop you from getting independent advice. A buyer who tries to does not have your best interests in mind.
Will the buyer know we are talking?
No. We never contact the buyer.
What if the offer is not good?
We tell you why, and what it would take to get a better one. Often that means fixing what buyers discount first, then going to market on your terms.
What if the offer is good?
Then we will tell you, and show you how to protect it through diligence and closing.
I already signed the letter of intent. Is it too late?
No. Much of what matters is settled later, in the purchase agreement: the working capital target, holdbacks, warranties and your role after closing. The sooner we see it, the more we can still shape.
Should I reply to the buyer first?
Keep it short and warm. Thank them and say you are reviewing it. Do not agree to terms or exclusivity until you have had the review.
How is this different from a broker?
A broker is paid when a deal closes, any deal. We start with what is right for you, which sometimes means pushing back, waiting, or walking away.
