M&A Advisory

Navigate M&A with Confidence

Strategic guidance for business owners buying, selling, or preparing for a future transaction. Advice from someone who's been on both sides of the table.

Ask Yourself...

If these questions resonate, it might be time to think strategically about M&A.

"Are you building a business—or building toward an exit?"

The best time to prepare for a sale is years before you're ready. Understanding your end game shapes every decision you make today.

"Do you know what your company is really worth to a buyer?"

Valuation isn't just about revenue multiples. Strategic value, customer concentration, and transferability of relationships all play a role.

"What gaps could derail a deal when it's time to sell?"

Buyers will find every weakness during due diligence. Better to discover and fix them now than watch a deal fall apart later.
