What our partners say
We believe in win-win outcomes and reputation is everything. We know that partnering or selling your business outright can be stressful and exhausting. So we have designed our process to be quick and painless.
“I was immediately impressed with the team. They were both personal and professional in their approach, which is different than what I have experienced. I always felt that our negotiations were transparent and fair.”
— C.C.
“For any seller considering engaging; you are in good hands. Quick, easy and transparent. They don’t play any games and move quickly and honestly. I would gladly work with them again. Good guys.”
— G.O.
“I wasn’t actively looking to sell, but a referral connected us with this private equity group; I’ve grown my business organically and it means something to me to keep it growing. They made it clear how serious they were about the business, employees and growth; that is what I cared about. A true class act.”
— G.H.

What is our process?
We can buy or invest in your business in under 60 days.
day 1
introductory call:
We have a 30-minute introductory call to learn about your story and values, and see if we can help.
day 2
mutual NDA:
We sign a mutual NDA so that the details of your business are legally protected.
day 3
simple information share:
We provide a basic list of information we would need (historical financials, staff roster, your desired role going forward etc.) and you send over what you can, when you can.
day 5
letter of intent:
Based on the information, we will provide you a simple term sheet with a valuation of your business. If you agree with it and want to move forward, then we would both sign a Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI is a nonbinding document that formalizes our agreement and gets both sides aligned on the smaller points before diligence.
day 30-60
Due Diligence Period:
We begin and complete due diligence over the next 30 - 60 days, depending on the complexity of your franchisor.
Day 60
sign and close the transaction:
We sign the purchase agreement, wire you the funds, and enjoy a celebratory drink or coffee!
We’re an open book
