Services

Selling your business can be an anxiety producing process fraught with risk, adversity, and significant consequences. Trying to navigate the process alone usually leads to sellers frequently settling on price, terms, or a fragmented process without a completed transaction.

Our definition of success is finding an aligned partner who recognizes the value of your business. We work with clients to optimize the right process to include a carefully selected set of partners designed to maximize not only value, but to ensure the best cultural, operational, and strategic fit. We’ll be your advisor and guide, leading you through an efficient and thorough process resulting in the sale of your business at the best possible price and terms.

In addition to sell-side representation, Commonwealth M&A assists Buyers in analyzing, financing, and executing business purchases. Our team has years of experience at both sides of the table and will structure your transaction to maximize value while minimizing financial and operational risk.

We guide you through a six-step process to maximize value from your sale:

1. Information Gathering

We meet and sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This allows us to collect information to inform a preliminary valuation while ensuring your information remains confidential. 

2. Analysis + Market Prep

We prepare a more detailed strategic and financial analysis of your business to prepare it for-sale. We build a thorough and complex set of marketing and informational materials.

3. Go-To-Market

Your business is officially “for-sale”. We start to engage potential Buyers and have them sign Non Disclosure Agreements before providing more detailed financial and marketing materials.

4. Negotiation

We evaluate offers and respond with counter terms to serious buyers. Buyer/Seller sign a Letter of Intent (LOI), a non-binding offer to sell the business at the specified terms, pending diligence.  

5. Diligence

Buyers will preform detailed due-diligence to ensure there are no red-flags and nothing was misrepresented about your Business. After diligence is complete, Buyers will submit a binding Purchase Agreement.

6. Closing

Purchase Agreement and remaining ancillary documents are signed and parties proceed to closing.
