FAQ
The Sale Process & ValuationHow is the purchase price calculated?We typically use a multiple of EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) or Revenue to determine enterprise value. We also factor in your market position, the strength of your management team, and historical growth trends.What if I don't have a formal business valuation yet?You don't need one. We conduct our own internal valuation during the "Professional Review" phase, using your financial data to provide an accurate market assessment without any cost to you.What documents will I need to provide?Initially, we only need the last three years of profit and loss (P&L) statements and balance sheets. If we move forward, we will look into tax returns, customer concentration, and employee data during due diligence.Confidentiality & RiskWhat happens if the deal doesn’t close after I share my data?This is why the Mutual NDA is signed before any sensitive data is exchanged. Legally, we are prohibited from sharing your information or using it for any purpose other than evaluating the acquisition.When do my employees and customers find out?Typically, not until the deal is finalized and legally "closed". We work with you to draft a communication plan to ensure the transition is announced in a way that maintains trust and stability.Your Future Role & TermsDo I have to stay on after the sale?This depends on your goals. Some owners prefer a "clean break," while others stay on for a defined transition period (3–12 months) or even remain as a minority partner to help grow the business further.What is an "earn-out" and will my deal have one?An earn-out is a structure where a portion of the purchase price is paid later, contingent on the business meeting specific performance targets. We discuss these terms transparently early in the process so there are no surprises at closing.Are you buying the whole company or just a part of it?We specialize in majority buyouts, meaning we typically acquire 51% to 100% of the company. However, we are open to structures that allow you to "roll over" a portion of your equity to benefit from the business's future growth.
