The firm
Approach
We work through relationships, keep matters confidential, and introduce clients only where we have done the work to confirm a fit.
Principles
- I
Confidential from the first call
Most of our work involves a business that is not publicly for sale, a lender relationship, or a negotiation in progress. We treat every conversation that way.
- II
No mass marketing
We do not advertise broadly. Clients and partners reach us through people they trust, and we make introductions the same way.
- III
Qualified introductions only
When we refer a client to a lender, an attorney, or a buyer, we have already spoken with them, confirmed the fit, and explained what happens next.
- IV
Terms in writing
Scope, fees, and any referral arrangements are agreed in writing before work begins.
Who we work with
-
Business owners
Preparing for a sale, financing growth, or fixing an operation that has outgrown its systems.
-
Buyers and investors
Acquiring an operating business or a property, and planning the first months after closing.
-
Lenders
Looking for well-prepared borrowers and a clear picture of the deal behind a request.
-
Law firms and professional practices
Seeking qualified clients, and a transaction advisor who works alongside counsel.
Engagements
How engagements begin
- 01
A conversation
Most engagements begin with an introduction from someone who knows us. The first call is confidential.
- 02
An honest view
We tell you what we see, including when the work is not a fit or the timing is wrong.
- 03
Written terms
Scope, fees, and any referral arrangements are agreed before work starts.
- 04
A principal throughout
The person you first speak with stays on the work through completion.
Alongside your advisors
We are not your attorney or your accountant. We work with them, share what we learn, and expect your counsel to review anything you sign.
Begin with a conversation.
Tell us briefly what you are working on. A principal reads every inquiry and replies personally.
