Selling a business requires professionals who understand business, finance, accounting, and law. Deal experience is everything. You will work directly with Rohit from the outset through close, backed by a team of support professionals and two senior advisors who have spent decades building, buying, and selling companies.

Rohit Kejriwal

Founder · Chicago, IL

Rohit started in accounting, moved into private equity, and has been a full-time Entrepreneur for 7+ years, including a construction business where he led a team of 40+ blue-collar workers. That mix is incredibly rare among M&A Advisors and Brokers. He reads your books like an accountant, looks at your company the way a buyer will, and knows firsthand what it takes to make payroll and keep crews busy. He has worked on more than $500M of transactions, helped facilitate the buying and selling of dozens of companies, and built a network of more than 100 private equity and strategic buyers. He has also underwritten or performed diligence on over $1B of transactions. He holds an MBA and a bachelor's in Accounting and Economics from The Ohio State University, both earned with honors.

Advisors

Advisor · Seattle, WA

Ben Tilson

Connect on LinkedIn

Ben has spent more than 20 years founding, buying, and running companies, including six he owned and operated. He has led three companies through a sale, so he knows the process from the seller's side. The companies he has run have more than $200M in combined revenue. Today he acquires and operates lower middle market businesses, and he has closed more than $80M in transactions in the last three years. He knows how a buyer underwrites a business, what a lender will finance, and which offer terms hold up at closing, and he advises our team from both sides of the table.

Advisor · Los Angeles, CA

Steve Brown

Connect on LinkedIn

Steve has spent more than 25 years in M&A, first as a corporate transactions attorney and then leading acquisitions and divestitures for two global manufacturers. He led the sale of 20 business units with $366M in annual sales. He also grew one division from $33M to $133M in revenue through acquisitions, the same buy-and-build approach today's private equity platforms use to buy businesses like yours. As an independent advisor, he has taken a business from buyer outreach to a closed sale in three months. He holds a law degree and the Certified M&A Advisor (CM&AA) designation and brings a transaction attorney's eye to deal terms.

Capabilities most brokers do not have.

Direct placement first

We take your business straight to funded buyers in our network, under NDA, for an offer without a public listing.

Direct listing, only if needed

With your written approval, we take the business to a curated group of funded buyers in a confidential process. Never public.

Accounting in-house

Our accounting team cleans up the books when needed and builds the financials, models, and CIMs buyers expect. We also have AI and operational professionals to modernize your back office before you sell.

Owners come to us at four points.

01:

Ready to sell

You want out, done right, without a two-year process or anyone finding out.

02:

Testing the waters

You want to know what a buyer would pay and what you can do to increase that number.

03:

Selling part and staying on

You want to take money off the table and keep running the business.

04:

Already approached

A buyer called you directly. You want someone on your side before you answer.

Each one starts with the same free valuation call. Confidential, no obligation.
