How it works

From first call to offer in about two weeks.

Four steps. No surprises, no pressure and no fees.

1Day 1

Tell us about the business

Fill out the confidential form, or book a 30-minute call. We ask the basics — what you have, what you owe, and when you'd like to be done.

No sensitive numbers yet, so no NDA needed at this stage.

What we won't do
  • Talk to your employees, customers or suppliers
  • Visit the business without your permission
  • Share your information with anyone
  • Pressure you to commit to anything
2Days 2–5

We look at the numbers

If it looks like a fit, we sign an NDA and you send over the records. We do our own underwriting, the same careful way on every deal — you're talking to the people actually doing the math.

For every business
  • Tax returns (last 3 years)
  • Profit & loss (last 12 months)
  • Equipment, vehicles and inventory
  • Lease or mortgage details
Depending on the business
  • Gas stations: fuel supply agreement and tank records
  • Liquor stores: license details
  • Motels: occupancy and rate history
  • Towing & recycling: contracts, permits and environmental records
  • If the property is included: deed or lease, taxes and condition notes
3Days 6–14

We make an offer

You get one to three ways to structure the deal. For example:

  • Option A: all cash at closing
  • Option B: half cash, half seller financing over five years
  • Option C: less up front, with an earnout tied to performance

You see the math behind each option, and we tell you which one we think fits your situation. Our offers are real — we don't lowball to see what sticks.

4After that

You decide

  • You accept. We sign a letter of intent, finish due diligence and close — usually within 30 to 60 days. License transfers and financing can add time.
  • You counter. We talk it through. We're flexible.
  • You pass. We shake hands and leave you alone. No fees, no hard feelings.
Common questions

What owners always ask.

What does it cost me?

Nothing. No fees and no commission. We're the buyer, not your agent.

Will you talk to my employees or customers?

Not without your written permission. Confidentiality is how we work.

Where do you buy?

Anywhere in the U.S. We go wherever the deal makes sense.

What if I'm not ready to sell yet?

Tell us when you are. We'll keep your file, and check in only if you want us to.

Can my CPA or attorney be involved?

Please do. We work with your team; we don't replace them.

What if the business has debt?

Most do. We can structure around existing loans — equipment loans, SBA loans and mortgages.

Do you buy the property too?

If you want to sell it, yes. Or keep it, lease it to us, and collect the rent.

How fast can you close?

About 14 days to an offer, then usually 30 to 60 days to close, depending on licenses, financing and due diligence.
