Valuation – Marketing – Closing

The Process We Follow

Selling a business takes time and the right expertise. Here’s what to expect when you work with Oak Capital Advisors.

Valuation & Marketing Materials

First, we start by determining what your business is worth through a Broker Opinion of Value, then build your Confidential Business Review – the detailed document that tells your business’s story to qualified buyers.

Direct Marketing & Buyer Outreach

Your business is introduced to the market through targeted outreach and strategic internet posting. All while maintaining strict confidentiality to protect your employees, customers and operations.

Letters of Intent & Buyer Meetings

Qualified buyers receive your CBR, submit Letters of Intent and meet with you directly. This is where serious conversations begin.

Your Business – Your Legacy – Our Priority

The Right Guidance at Every Stage

Selling a business is complex. Having the right advisor in your corner makes all the difference.

Broker Opinion of Value

We analyze your financials using multiple valuation methods including: Price/SDE, Price/EBITDA Multiple of SDE method, and research comparables across several databases to give you a realistic, defensible benchmark value for your business. This is not a formal appraisal, but a well-researched opinion of value designed to guide your decisions.

Confidential. From Day One.

Complete Seller Representation

We manage the entire sale process on your behalf. From developing your Confidential Business Review and marketing to qualified buyers, through negotiations and closing. That way, you can stay focused on running your business. Every step is handled with strict confidentiality from the start to protect you, your employees and your customers.

Valued. Marketed. Sold.

Strategic Sell-Side Consulting

Not ready to sell yet? We work with business owners to identify and address the gaps that affect value, so when you do go to market you’re in the strongest position possible. Tom works with you to strengthen operations, financials and positioning well in advance of going to market. Sometimes the best time to call a broker is before you’re ready to sell.
