How Do I Sell My Business? Here’s the Step-by-Step Process
1. Start with a No-Pressure, Confidential Consultation
Selling a company starts with understanding your goals. Whether you’re wondering if now is the right time, or simply curious what your business might be worth, our first step is to listen. We’ll help you evaluate your options and outline your next moves.
Many of our clients first explored selling after reading about the signs it’s time to sell — not necessarily because something was wrong.
2. Get a Clear, Data-Driven Valuation
A strong business sale starts with a smart valuation. We use proven methodologies like EBITDA multiples, discounted cash flow, and market comps to determine your company's worth, and help you understand why.
If you’ve been asking “How much is my business worth?,” this is where we bring clarity.
For industry-specific insights, see how we break down the numbers in our cleaning business valuation guide.
3. Prepare Your Company for Market
Presentation matters. Before bringing your business to buyers, we help optimize how it’s positioned. That means tightening financials, highlighting growth potential, and creating a clear exit strategy.
Want to increase your valuation before listing? Our value enhancement services help owners fine-tune operations and earnings to attract top-tier buyers.
4. Market Your Business Confidentially
Your company is marketed using a “blind profile” and a detailed Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM), shared only with vetted, NDA-signed buyers. You stay anonymous until we find a serious match.
5. Negotiate Offers & Structure the Deal
We represent you through LOIs, deal terms, negotiations, and buyer Q&A. Our goal isn’t just closing—it’s closing the right deal with favorable terms.

6. Manage Due Diligence & Closing
Once a buyer commits, we proactively manage the due diligence process, working closely with your legal, financial, and operational teams. We handle the details so you can focus on your business through closing day.
