Most owners don’t sell because they don’t know how to start.
They’re afraid word will leak out-employees panic, competitors circle, and clients get nervous.
So they do nothing.
And “nothing” quietly costs them six figures.
Here’s how we fix that.
Step 1: Confidential Discovery
We start with a simple call.
No forms. No commitments. Just a 15-minute chat about your goals, numbers, and ideal timeline.
You’ll know in that first conversation if selling makes sense.
Step 2: Valuation & Market Positioning
Next, we calculate what your business is really worth-based on Richmond market comps, industry multiples, and recent local deals.
No inflated promises. Just truth, backed by data.
Step 3: The “Silent Listing”
This is where confidentiality gets serious.
We list your business privately-no names, no logos, no giveaway details.
Buyers see just enough to get interested, but not enough to know it’s you.
Step 4: Qualified Buyers Only
Every inquiry is pre-screened.
We verify funds, intent, and experience before anyone sees financials.
You’ll never get random “tire kickers” wasting your time.
Step 5: NDA & Information Exchange
Once a buyer is vetted, we send a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
Only after signing do they get access to your confidential package-financials, operations overview, and transition notes.
Step 6: Negotiation & Offer Structuring
We guide you through offers, counter-offers, and deal terms-earnouts, seller financing, SBA-backed funding, everything.
Our goal: maximize your payout while protecting your legacy.
Step 7: Closing & Transition
Once both sides agree, attorneys finalize documents, funds are wired, and we help coordinate handover.
You walk away clean-your staff, customers, and brand intact.
