Request a confidential consultation about selling your Virginia business.
Protecting your company’s identity is an important part of the sales process. We advertise a general description of the opportunity without publicly identifying your business or its specific address. Prospective buyers must sign a confidentiality agreement and provide information about their background and financial qualifications before receiving identifying details.
Our marketing combines targeted outreach, online advertising, and a database of more than 40,000 potential buyers. Depending on your company, interested buyers may include other businesses, private equity groups, and experienced entrepreneurs from Virginia, elsewhere in the United States, or overseas.
Our M&A professionals handle initial inquiries, qualify prospects, and arrange introductions. We combine business brokerage and M&A advisory services to guide you through buyer discussions, offers, negotiations, and closing while you continue running your company.
Your company’s value depends on more than its annual revenue. We review earnings, financial trends, customer relationships, management, assets, and growth opportunities. We also discuss how much the business depends on your day to day involvement and what a buyer would need to continue operating it successfully.
Using your financial information, relevant comparable transactions, and our experience, we recommend a potential asking price and discuss how to present the business to buyers. The goal is to support your pricing expectations with a clear explanation of the company’s strengths and opportunities.
When offers arrive, we help you compare the proposed price, cash paid at closing, any future payments, financing requirements, and your role after the sale. These details help you evaluate the overall offer and the buyer’s ability to complete the transaction.
Our completed Virginia transactions include businesses with different company sizes, customer relationships, and operating models.

Organized records and a clear transition plan can make your company easier for buyers to evaluate. Start with recent tax returns, financial statements, and current year results. Be ready to explain unusual expenses, changes in profitability, major customer relationships, and opportunities for growth.
Consider how the business would operate without your daily involvement. Experienced managers, trained employees, documented procedures, and established customer relationships can make the transition more manageable. We can help you identify the information buyers will need and the questions they are likely to ask.
There can be advantages to selling while your business is performing well, when you can demonstrate its earnings and momentum. Your personal plans also matter. A conversation with us can help you decide whether to begin the sale process now or prepare for a future transition.
Selling a business usually takes six to ten months, although some transactions close sooner and others take longer. We are usually able to reach step nine of our 15 step sales process, introducing qualified buyers, within one to eight weeks of starting the process. We can often introduce multiple qualified buyers during that period. Pricing, buyer financing, the availability of information, and due diligence affect the overall schedule.
No. A confidential consultation can help you understand a potential selling price, the buyers who may be interested, and what a sale could involve. You can then decide whether moving forward fits your goals.
Many buyers want the owner to help with a transition, but the length and level of involvement vary. Some owners want to retire after a handover, while others are interested in remaining involved for longer. We discuss your preferences early and consider them when evaluating buyers and offers.
No. Our brokerage commission is earned when your company sells. You can review our business sale fee structure and discuss the details with us before deciding whether to proceed.
If you are considering selling your company, we would be glad to learn about your business and your plans. Tell us about your industry, annual revenue, and goals through our seller registration form so our team can prepare for a confidential discussion.
