How The Process Works
From Valuation to Quiet, Premium Exit
You stay focused on running the business. We handle valuation, strategy, and quiet outreach to qualified buyers and private equity groups.
Step 1
Confidential Valuation & Exit Goals
We review your quick questionnaire, financials, and ownership structure to estimate a realistic valuation range and deal structure options (asset sale, stock sale, recapitalization, etc.).
Step 2
Targeted Buyer & PE Outreach
Using our network of strategic buyers, family offices, and private equity firms, we quietly introduce your opportunity to vetted parties that match your size, industry, and deal preferences.
Step 3
Negotiate & Close on Your Terms
We manage conversations, offers, diligence, and deal structure so you can compare options and move forward with the right buyer at the right price and timeline for you.
From Main Street to $50M+
We Represent Owners Across Industries & Deal Sizes
Hedgestone Business Advisors helps owners exit companies from small, profitable operators to complex multi-location and B2B organizations.
- Main street & mom-and-pop retail businesses
- Service companies, agencies, and professional practices
- Industrial, manufacturing, distribution, and logistics
- Software, technology, and recurring revenue models
- Owner-operator and investor-owned businesses
If your business generates $500K–$50M+ in annual revenue and you’re exploring a sale in the next 3–36 months, a valuation today gives you options.
Is Now the Right Time to Sell?
Many owners come to us with questions, not decisions. A confidential valuation can help you understand:
- What a credible buyer or private equity group would likely pay today
- Which deal structures (cash at close, earnouts, seller financing, rollovers) are realistic
- What to fix before going to market to justify a higher valuation
- How to protect your staff, brand, and legacy through the transition
Owner Outcomes
Exits That Protect Value, People, and Legacy
Names and specifics are kept confidential, but these are real scenarios from owners we’ve represented.
“We ran a regional services company stuck at a plateau. Hedgestone brought multiple strategic buyers to the table within weeks, and we closed at a valuation we didn’t think was possible — with our key staff protected in the transition.”
Owner, B2B Services Firm • ~$8M Revenue
“We wanted to retire from our family-owned retail business without alarming staff or customers. The process was completely private, and we were introduced only to serious buyers who understood our market.”
Owners, Multi-Location Retail • ~$3M Revenue
“As a software founder, I cared about more than just price — I wanted the right partner to scale the product. Hedgestone navigated multiple PE and strategic offers so we could choose the best long-term home for the company.”
Founder, SaaS Company • ~$15M Revenue
Questions, Answered
What to Expect When You Reach Out
Our role is to give you clarity, options, and a professional process — whether you decide to sell now, in a few years, or not at all.
Will my staff, customers, or competitors find out I’m exploring a sale?
No. All information you share is strictly confidential. We do not publicly list your business. Outreach is done directly and discreetly to qualified buyers or private equity groups, and we never contact employees, customers, or vendors without your explicit permission.
Do I need perfect financials to get a valuation?
No. Most owners don’t have everything perfectly organized. Start with your best estimates for gross and net annual revenue. If you decide to move forward, we’ll guide you on what to clean up and how to present your numbers in the strongest possible light.
What size businesses do you work with?
We work with a wide range of businesses, typically from $500K to $50M+ in annual revenue, across main street, service, industrial, and software/technology sectors. If you’re unsure whether you fit, submit the form — if we’re not the best fit, we’ll tell you quickly and, when appropriate, point you in the right direction.
What does it cost to get started?
Submitting the valuation request and having an initial confidential conversation with an advisor is typically at no cost and no obligation. If we both decide to move forward, we’ll walk you through our engagement structure, which is generally success-fee based at closing.
How fast can a deal realistically close?
It depends on the size and complexity of your business, but many transactions close within 3–9 months from the time we formally go to market. Our network and pre-existing buyer relationships are designed to shorten this timeline wherever possible without sacrificing value.
