Services · Mergers & Acquisitions

Sell the business. Keep the discretion.

Confidential sell-side and buy-side representation for owners of operating businesses, valuation through close.

Advisory, Not Listing

Your business sold like an asset, not posted like a classified.

Selling an operating business is not a real estate listing. It's a confidential process with employees, landlords, franchisors, and lenders all in the mix. We run a disciplined sell-side process for owners, and a rigorous buy-side search for acquirers, drawing on the same operator network that powers our franchise practice.

The Process
01

Valuation

Financial review and a defensible range before anything goes to market.

Positioning

Confidential memorandum and a curated, NDA-gated buyer list.

03

Marketing

Quiet outreach to qualified acquirers, never a public blast.

04

Negotiation

LOI, structure, and terms, with your real estate handled in the same deal.

05

Close

Diligence management through funding and transition.

Engagements handled with strict confidentiality. Advisory services provided in accordance with applicable licensing and registration requirements.

Why GRS

Real estate and the business, one table.

Most business brokers can't handle the lease assignment, the landlord consent, or the sale-leaseback that make or break these deals. We can, because commercial real estate is our core business. When the business and its property trade together, you want one team negotiating both.
