For owners
Selling the business you built shouldn't feel like handing it to a stranger.
Whether you're ready now or just want to know the number, we can start with one quiet conversation. Nothing gets listed, nothing gets said to your staff, and you're never committed to anything.
Who this is for
You're probably in one of these spots
- You own a Main Street business and you're starting to wonder what it's worth.
- You've had an unsolicited offer and you don't know if it's a good one.
- You're a contractor, shop owner, or practice owner with licensing or permits that have to transfer cleanly.
- You're 6 months to 3 years out and want to know what to fix before you sell.
- You want your people and your clients to land somewhere good.
If none of those quite fit, reach out anyway. Half of what I do is help owners figure out whether this is the year or not.
About confidentiality
This is the fear I hear most: if word gets out, my producers leave and my clients start shopping. Fair. Here's how I handle it.
- Your business is marketed blind: industry, region, and numbers only.
- Every buyer signs an NDA and gets screened before they learn your name.
- Financials go out in stages, not all at once.
- Site visits happen after hours or off-site, on your terms.
- You decide who finds out and when, including your team.
Why me
A Main Street broker vs. someone chasing bigger deals
Main Street deals have moving parts that only show up when you've sold a few of them, and they deserve the same attention a middle-market deal gets.
I already know your buyers
Individual operators leaving corporate, local competitors expanding, family offices, and industry consolidators. I keep that list warm instead of building it from scratch on your dime.
I know what your business is actually worth
Owner add-backs, recurring revenue, route density, equipment, licensing, and how much of the business is really you. Get those wrong and you leave real money behind.
I know what kills these deals
Lease assignments, license and permit transfers, key-person risk, messy books, and SBA lender requirements. We deal with them early instead of finding them in diligence.
You get me, not a team
One licensed broker, backed by FitzGibbon Alexander, on every call from the first conversation to the closing table.
Step by step
What actually happens, start to finish
From the first call to the wire hitting your account, here's the whole thing.
A confidential conversation
No paperwork, no pressure. Just a quiet conversation about your business, your timing, and what a sale would need to look like for it to be worth doing. Nothing leaves that call.
What your business is worth
I go through your revenue, your earnings, your customer base, and what actually transfers to a new owner. You get a clear range and the reasoning behind it, in plain English, so there are no surprises later.
Finding buyers who'll run it well
Your business is presented confidentially to buyers I've screened for money, experience, and intent. Nobody sees your name until they've signed an NDA and I've checked they can actually close.
Getting to the closing table
I help you compare offers on more than price, manage due diligence requests, coordinate with your CPA and attorney, and keep the deal moving through lender approval to a signed closing.
