Company sale: the process, step by step.

A structured M&A process for owners — run discreetly, negotiated competitively and closed at the best achievable price. This is what a professional company sale looks like, from preparation to signature.

What we do for you

Preparation & equity story

Before the first buyer is approached we build the foundation: a defensible valuation, clean figures, a convincing equity story and a prepared data room. Good preparation is the biggest value lever — and noticeably shortens the process later.

Anonymous buyer outreach & competition

From 2,500+ vetted strategics, family offices and private equity firms we approach only the few that fit — anonymously, until you decide. Several serious bidders at the table are your strongest argument on price.

Negotiation, due diligence & closing

We run the LOI, due diligence and contract negotiation competitively and with discipline — you keep your hands on the wheel, we carry the load. We sit on your side of the table until the ink is dry.

At a glance
  • One dedicated advisor — from first call to closing
  • Genuine competition, not a single negotiation
  • Full confidentiality at every stage
  • On average 122 days to completion
