Sell Your Business

Sell your business confidentially, to a buyer who is qualified.


Your business is probably the largest asset you own. Selling it well comes down to three things: a realistic price, a buyer who can close, and a process that keeps your employees, customers and competitors from finding out too early.

How we help

Key terms

SDE
Seller’s discretionary earnings: profit plus the owner’s salary and personal add-backs. It’s the standard way to value owner-operated businesses.
EBITDA multiple
A common way to value a business: its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, multiplied by a market factor.
Seller financing
A portion of the price paid over time by the buyer rather than all at closing, usually on agreed terms and interest.
Earnout
A part of the price tied to the business hitting agreed results after the sale.
Transition period
A defined stretch after closing when the seller helps hand off relationships, systems, and knowledge.
