We Are Your Trusted Exit Authority™
The best way to sell a business is to let the professional team help you. We advise middle market business owners to create attractive, exit ready companies that sell for maximum value, creating wealth and legacies that last for generations.
Companies With $10M+ Million In Revenue
Maximize your enterprise value and minimize your worry when you sell a business with an experienced M&A advisor.
Own your exit with a sound exit strategy, or else the exit will own you.
After you sell a business, turn your enterprise value into life value, so your wealth and legacy will last for generations to come.
We seek to reinvent M&A services. Our M&A advisors have heard time and time again how clients sought the help of other advisors, and their information was merely thrown on the internet in hopes of finding a buyer.
Even the successful sellers often have two concerns at closing:
1. They feel like they know so much more by the end of the sale process, and if they'd only known it back at the beginning, they would have had a faster and more lucrative exit.
2. They feel ill prepared for the next phase of life.
We are changing the way businesses are sold.
Every one of our clients is coached on proper exit planning techniques so that their business is in prime shape for sale. Our experienced M&A advisors will help the Client to navigate the sale process, and our exit planning advisors continue to make sure the company performs through the sale process. Our combined M&A and exit planning approach is designed to maximize enterprise value and improve value builder systems for our Clients at exit. It's what makes us different.
Would it surprise you to know as many as 90% of all M&A deals taken to market fail to close? Worse, the majority of these businesses stay on the market tied to a contract preventing them from pursuing other buyers or opportunities.
Among the lucky 10% who sell, 75% of them aren't happy about it a year later. This is due to bad deal making, poor presentation and lack of proper exit planning. Had this been done the right way, with the right team, business owners would have seen an increase in the value of the company to interested buyers, at the right time, for the right buyer.
We are your trusted exit authority™ and one of the leading mergers & acquisitions firms serving middle-market businesses with revenue in excess of $10M. Our team has over 25 years experience in the M&A, exit planning, and wealth preservation industries. We aren't your average run of the mill business brokerage - our team actually has experience in the areas we serve.
At Final Ascent, we focus on providing mid-market M&A advisory services. Although we have experience above and below, most clients we help sell their businesses in the range of $10 million to $150 million. By working with one of our trusted exit planning advisors, clients know that they have maximized the value they can achieve when trying to sell.
Choosing the wrong advisor could cost you valuable time, resources, and money in a less than efficient exit. We have earned the business of countless business owners who picked the wrong representative and spent a year or more trying unsuccessfully to sell their company. Our solutions get results because we are there every step of the way.
At Final Ascent, we are your trusted exit authority. We advise middle market business owners to create exit ready companies that attract buyers and sell for maximum value, creating wealth and a lasting legacy for generations.
Meet The Team
With decades of experience servicing lower middle-market companies, we understand that no two businesses are the same.
Even more importantly, no two business owners share the same personal goals. Companies that are worth $10MM+ are often complex entities that need proper planning and preparation before executing an appropriate exit strategy. When business owners seek answers, they often find small business brokerage firms that lead with a one-size-fits-all marketing approach.
We focus on the business owner to understand their goals throughout the sale process and after the sale, to make sure that the transaction is built to meet those goals.
We focus on the business, because we want it to be attractive to a buyer at the time we market it, and also, the business owner may get distracted away from running the business through the sale process. We always say focus on running your business, let us build the attention.
We focus on the sale to achieve maximum price with a buyer who will actually be able to close the transaction and finance the right deal that benefits our business owner.
