From first conversation to a signed offer typically takes 1–2 weeks. Once you accept, we share a formal purchase agreement and get moving. Our data requests are minimal, and we’ll help you pull together anything we need. We can typically close in less than two months.

We look at your revenue, profitability, customer base, team, and the market you operate in. We present a transparent, straightforward offer — no lowball number to start a negotiation. All terms are upfront so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to before you sign anything. We want you to feel good about this deal long after it closes.

No. The employee ownership structure is something we fund ourselves as part of how we operate our platform. It is entirely separate from the price we pay you for your business. Your check is your check — the ownership your team earns comes on top of that, not instead of it.

That’s entirely up to you. Some owners want a clean exit and that’s completely fine. Others want to stay involved in some capacity — we welcome that too. We’ll structure the transition around what makes sense for you, your family, and the business. That said, we do require a minimum transition period for owners who want to exit — typically somewhere between six months and a year — to make sure the handoff goes smoothly and your people are set up for success.

Your crew stays. We don’t buy businesses to restructure them. The people who made your company what it is are the people who keep running it — and under our model, they also become owners. That’s one of the things that makes this a genuinely different deal for everyone involved.
