Sell Your Business Without Broker Fees—And Keep More of What You've Built
Direct access to vetted buyers + tax-optimized structuring = $200k-$500k saved on typical transactions
The Problem Most Business Owners Face
You've spent years (maybe decades) building a valuable business. When it's time to sell, you face two bad options:
Option 1: Business Broker
- Charges 5-10% commission ($50k-$500k+ on typical sales)
- Doesn't optimize for taxes (they get paid on gross, not your net)
- Brings you any buyer willing to pay, not necessarily the right buyer
- May take 12-24 months to close
Option 2: Going It Alone
- You don't know qualified buyers
- No experience structuring transactions
- Risk leaving huge money on table through poor tax structuring
- Could blow the deal through inexperience
There's a better way.

How it Works
Phase 2
Phase 4
Phase 5
Pre-Sale Optimization (12-24 months before sale, if time permits)
Phase 1
What we do:
- Review and clean up entity structure
- Identify ways to maximize EBITDA and business value
- Resolve tax or compliance issues that could reduce valuation
- Create documentation sophisticated buyers expect
- Begin building relationship with potential buyers
Why this matters: Proper preparation can increase your sale price by 15-30%.
Investment: Included if you're already a Tier 2+ client; $7,500 standalone
Valuation & Buyer Matching (3-6 months)
What we do:
- Coordinate with independent business valuation specialist (you hire them directly)
- Present your business to 3-5 vetted GPs in our network
- Facilitate preliminary discussions
- Help you evaluate offers
What you save: No broker fees (5-10% of sale price). On a $3M sale, that's $150k-$300k saved.
Phase 3
Deal Structuring & Tax Optimization
What we do:
- Structure transaction to minimize your tax liability
- Properly allocate purchase price across assets (Form 8594)
- Coordinate with your attorney on legal documentation
- Model different scenarios (asset vs stock sale, earnouts, seller financing)
- Calculate exact after-tax proceeds for each scenario
Why this matters: Poor tax structuring can cost you 20-40% of proceeds.
Example:
- $3M sale price
- Poor structure (all ordinary income): $1.08M taxes = $1.92M net
- Optimized structure: $600k taxes = $2.4M net
- Difference: $480,000 to you

Post-Sale Wealth Planning
What we do:
- Manage communication between all parties

We only work with GPs who have completed multiple acquisitions in the industry, proof of funds, and track record of smooth closings. We'll provide references from other sellers.
-
Perfect. We can still optimize the tax structure, ensure Form 8594 is done correctly, and model different scenarios to maximize your net proceeds. Many clients come with a letter of intent and we improve their after-tax proceeds by $200k-$500k.
Investment: $10k-$15k for deal structuring only.
-
- If you're 2+ years from selling: We begin pre-sale optimization now
- If you're ready within 6-12 months: We move quickly on valuation and buyer introductions
- Typical timeline from first buyer meeting to close: 3-6 months
-
No. We charge a flat fee based on complexity, not a percentage of sale price. This aligns our incentives with yours.
