Plain-English guides for selling your business
Short, honest reads on what your business is worth, how to get ready, and how a good sale process actually works. Written for owners, not for jargon.
Start with the question on your mind
Your business's true market value
Before you sell, you need to know what a buyer would actually pay. Our market-based valuation gives you a real-world price range built on current deal data, not a tax or compliance appraisal.
Is your business buyer-ready?
Buyers reward businesses that are organized and transparent. We show how preparing early, often 12 to 24 months ahead, leads to stronger offers, higher valuations, and smoother closings.
Best price through a competitive auction
Would you rather have interest from one buyer, or many? A limited, competitive auction creates leverage and consistently delivers a better price and better terms than a single-buyer negotiation.
Market insights and recent trends
What buyers are paying across the Western U.S. right now, and the trends shaping deals in your industry. We are putting this guide together.
Best exit strategy: insights for accountants
How accountants and CPAs can guide clients toward the right exit, and bring in an M&A advisor at the right time, so the seller stays in control.
How our advisory fees work
Retainer, success fee, tail period, exclusivity, and expenses, explained in plain English so there are no surprises.
