Common questions

The things founders typically ask before booking the call

Is this a sales call or a pitch?

No. It’s a conversation. Many of the founders we speak with are just exploring. Some end up selling, some don’t. Either way it’s a useful read on where you stand. There’s no pitch deck, no follow-up sequence, no obligation at any stage.

Are you a broker?

No. Brokers represent sellers, list businesses publicly, and charge sellers commissions of 8 to 12% at close. We do not do any of those things. We’re a buy-side firm: we represent buyers, work confidentially, and the buyer pays our fee at close. See our full breakdown of the buyer-paid alternative.

Who am I actually talking to?

Christoph (founder) or one of our advisors. We come to the call having reviewed your valuation tool answers if you’ve used it, so we can spend the time on your specific situation, not on basics.

What does the call cost?

Nothing. Our buyer partners pay us when a deal closes. There’s no fee for the call, no retainer, no engagement letter, no obligation at any stage. If a deal doesn’t happen, you owe us nothing.

Will my business be publicly listed or shared?

Never. Confidentiality is foundational. We don’t publish business details or share information without your explicit, written approval. Your employees, customers, and competitors will not know you’re exploring this unless you decide to tell them.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

Founder-owned and family-owned operating businesses across the U.S. Revenue typically $1M to $50M, EBITDA $250K to $25M. Most active sectors: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, pest control, landscaping, light manufacturing, B2B services, healthcare services, logistics. If your sector isn’t on this list, ask anyway, our buyer mandates change.

What happens to my team after the sale?

Most of our capital partners actively want to retain the existing team. Your people are part of what makes the business valuable. We make sure team treatment is on the table from day one of every introduction.

Who are your buyers?

Typically private equity firms, family offices, search funders, or strategic acquirers in your industry. These are experienced operators who’ve done this before and understand how to work with founders through a transition. Many of our buyers offer rollover equity so you can keep upside as the business grows.
