WHY WE PUBLISH OUR FEES

Aligned incentives, in plain sight

We win when you win

Our fee is success-based. The bigger and better your exit, the better we've done our job — our interests sit on the same side of the table as yours.

Declining marginal rate

The modified double-Lehman scale steps down as your deal grows, so you keep more of every additional dollar of value we help you create.

Credited onboarding

The upfront onboarding fee covers preparation and is credited back against the success fee at close — you're never paying twice.

FEE FAQ

The questions owners actually ask

What is a "modified double-Lehman" fee?

It's a tiered success fee: 12% on the first $1M of sale price, 10% on the second $1M, 8% on the third, 6% on the fourth, and 4% on everything above $4M.

How much is the onboarding fee?

$10,000 for deals up to $5M, $25,000 for deals from $5M to $10M, and $50,000 for deals above $10M — each fully credited toward your success fee at close.
