We're compensated through a success fee calculated on the Double Lehman scale — the same transparent, tiered structure used across the lower middle market. No retainers, no surprises.
No retainer, no valuation fee, no monthly charge. We invest in your sale before we're paid a cent.
A single, tiered fee on the final sale price — due at closing, when you're paid.
The higher your price, the higher our fee. We win only when you do — there's no reward for a fast, cheap sale.
Illustrative estimate based on the Double Lehman scale. Subject to a minimum engagement fee; final terms are set in your listing agreement.
The success fee is layered: the top portion of your sale price carries the highest rate, and each additional band is charged less. That keeps the structure fair for larger deals while protecting the value of smaller ones.
A defensible, market-grounded assessment of value — at no cost, with no obligation.
A confidential information memorandum and financial recast that present your business at its best.
Discreet, targeted outreach to qualified, vetted buyers — strategic and financial.
We manage offers, drive competition, and negotiate price and terms on your behalf.
We coordinate the data room and shepherd buyer diligence so deals don't stall.
We stay at the table with your attorney and CPA until the deal is signed and funded.
Correct. There's no retainer and no valuation fee. We're paid a success fee at closing — if your business doesn't sell, you owe us nothing.
Yes. Like most quality intermediaries, we set a minimum engagement fee so smaller transactions still warrant a full-effort process. We'll state it clearly before you sign anything.
Listing agreements typically run 12 months with a standard tail period, so we're protected on buyers we introduced. All terms are spelled out before you commit.
No. If we don't believe a sale will meet your expectations, we'll tell you during the valuation rather than sign you up and waste your time.
