Sell-side M&A advisory

A real M&A process for your life's work.

Right Buyer. Right Price & Terms. Right Time.

We prepare the facts, build the narrative, create an informed buyer field, compare complete offers, and carry the transaction through diligence and closing.

The process

Six stages. One accountable advisory team.

The owner keeps running the business while RightExit manages the transaction work and coordinates the outside advisors involved.

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Clarify owner goals, normalize adjusted EBITDA, organize materials, and identify issues before buyers do.

  2. 02

    Position

    Build a supportable narrative around earnings quality, growth, risk, management, and transferability.

  3. 03

    Market

    Approach a deliberately selected field of qualified buyers through controlled, confidential outreach.

  4. 04

    Negotiate

    Compare total offers, preserve competitive tension, and negotiate price, structure, and key business terms.

  5. 05

    Diligence

    Coordinate financial, legal, tax, operational, and commercial requests while maintaining momentum.

  6. 06

    Close

    Work with the owner and outside counsel through final economics, documents, funding, and transition.

The best headline price is not always the best offer.

RightExit builds an apples-to-apples view of economics, risk, and obligations so the owner can make an informed choice.

See the Offer Curve

Headline value

Enterprise value or purchase price is the start—not the conclusion.

Cash and financing

Cash at closing, buyer financing, seller notes, rollover equity, and funding certainty.

Contingent value

Earn-outs, retention provisions, indemnities, escrows, and what must happen after closing.

Diligence risk

Conditions, representations, timelines, retrading exposure, and the buyer’s ability to finish.

Working capital

The target, true-up method, exclusions, and effect on cash ultimately received.

Transition and fit

Owner obligations, employee and client continuity, culture, and the next steward’s plan.

Confidential

Information and buyer access are controlled throughout the process.

Prepared

Financial and operating support is assembled before the buyer controls the questions.

Owner-directed

Stewardship does not mean accepting less. It means making a fully informed decision about the value, terms, people, and future involved in your exit. The owner decides how to weigh those objectives.

The right process starts before the business goes to market.
