Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to use all services, or can I pick and choose?
Absolutely pick and choose! Many clients start with a single service like professional valuation or exit planning, then add others as needs evolve. During your free assessment, we'll recommend what makes sense for your specific situation—no pressure to bundle.
How long does the typical process take?
Timeline varies by service. Professional valuations take 2-3 weeks, exit strategy development takes 4-6 weeks, and full business sales typically close in 6-12 months. We'll provide specific timelines during your consultation.
What if I just want to sell quickly without all the planning?
We can help with that too! Our broker services can take your business to market immediately. However, we'll be honest about whether quick preparation steps could increase your sale price enough to justify a short delay.
How much do broker services cost?
We work on success-based commission, typically 8-12% depending on transaction size and complexity. We only get paid when you successfully close, aligning our incentives completely with yours.
Can you help if I'm not ready to sell for several years?
Yes! In fact, that's often the ideal time to engage us. The earlier you start planning, the more opportunity we have to maximize your business value. Exit planning and value optimization services are perfect for business owners 2-5 years from exit.
