As a sell-side mergers and acquisitions professional, you need quality businesses to sell that are owned by founders with a realistic expectation of what their business is worth. Sometimes those two things can be hard to find. Many owners want to sell, but their business is not ready to stand up to the scrutiny of a professional buyer. Likewise, owners of quality businesses can have an unrealistic expectation of what their business is worth. You’re left giving away hundreds of hours of your valuable time for nothing. As a mergers and acquisitions professional, The Value Builder System™ can help you build a quality pipeline of businesses to sell while getting paid for your advice along the way.
Deal Flow
Inviting owners to complete the Value Builder questionnaire is a great way for a mergers and acquisitions professional to start a conversation with a new prospective client.
Deal Flow
Stop Wasting Time
The Value Builder questionnaire allows you to see how a business owner answers the questions proven to be important to an acquirer which will allow you to triage the very best opportunities and invest extra time where owners have a realistic opportunity to sell their business.
Stop Wasting Time
