The difference
We're M&A advisors — not business brokers.
Both help you sell. Only one actually runs a process, protects your confidentiality, and negotiates for you at the table.
Traditional broker
- —Post an ad. Hope buyers show up.
- —Commission-only. Rushes to close any deal.
- —Often no financial vetting of buyers.
- —Little help with structure, tax or terms.
M&A advisor
- We run a structured sale process, end to end.
- Small retainer keeps us accountable to you.
- Every buyer is vetted before they see your name.
- Deal structure, tax, warranties — handled.
