Confidential sell-side and buy-side representation for owners of operating businesses, valuation through close.
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.
Financial review and a defensible range before anything goes to market.
Confidential memorandum and a curated, NDA-gated buyer list.
Quiet outreach to qualified acquirers, never a public blast.
LOI, structure, and terms, with your real estate handled in the same deal.
Diligence management through funding and transition.
Engagements handled with strict confidentiality. Advisory services provided in accordance with applicable licensing and registration requirements.
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.
A senior agent, not a call center, will reach out the same day.
