The 5 Point Process

Valuation & Positioning

We determine a defensible value range based on normalized EBITDA, risk factors, and buyer behavior, not generic multiples.

Financial Preparation

We clean and structure financials to reflect true earnings. Addbacks are validated. Working capital is understood upfront.

Marketing Materials

We build a professional CIM and structured data room that answers buyer questions before they’re asked.

Targeted Buyer Outreach

We run a controlled process with qualified buyers, private equity, strategics, and family offices.

Negotiation & Closing

We manage offers, structure, LOI negotiation, diligence, and closing to protect value.

Typical Clients

$10M – $250M in revenue

This is where buyers are active and transactions can support a competitive process. Below this range, buyer depth and financing options become more limited.

Owner-led or founder-backed businesses

Most of our clients are directly involved in day-to-day operations and key decisions. We help translate that into a structure buyers can underwrite without relying solely on the owner.

Sell side M&A advisory for business transactions.

$2M – $25M EBITDA

This level of earnings attracts both private equity and strategic buyers. It also supports deal structures that can actually close without financing friction.

Industrials, construction, business services, healthcare, and tech

These are sectors where we understand how buyers evaluate risk, margins, and growth. That allows us to position the business correctly and avoid surprises in diligence.
