Buying or selling a business
These deals live or die on clarity: real cash flow, honest risk, and terms everyone can live with after closing — not just on signing day.
If you're buying
- Does the price make sense against real SDE and what you'll actually run day to day?
- How much of the story is seller optimism vs. documented performance?
- What's the cleanest path: SBA, seller note, equity partner, or a blend?
If you're selling
- How do we present the business so serious buyers see the value — without overpromising?
- What terms (earnout, seller finance, transition) close deals without leaving you exposed?
- Who is actually qualified to finish the deal, not just kick tires?
When to reach out
Early is fine — even if you only have a rough asking price, a P&L, or a letter of intent. I'd rather help you sanity-check before you're emotionally committed.
Text Me a one-liner on the business, the ask, and your role (buyer/seller). We'll go from there.
