Our team at Ad Astra Equity has successfully closed transactions totaling $400 million over the past six years. We offer expert guidance to help you handle the complexities of selling your business, ensuring you get the best deal possible.
No Upfront Fees
One key advantage of working with Ad Astra Equity is our no upfront fee policy. We don’t charge retainers, monthly fees, or cancellation fees. You only pay us when we successfully close a deal. This risk-free arrangement aligns our interests with yours, ensuring we are fully committed to finding the best buyer for your business.
Non-Exclusive Agreements
We understand that flexibility is important. That’s why we operate on a non-exclusive basis. While we are engaged, you can market your business yourself or work with other advisors. This ensures you can explore all potential opportunities without being locked into a restrictive contract.
Our Proven Process
Initial Consultation
Our process begins with a no-obligation, confidential conversation to understand your goals and see if we are the right fit for you. During this initial consultation, we discuss your business, your reasons for selling, and your desired outcomes.
Customized Plan
Once we understand your goals, we create a customized plan tailored to your needs. This plan outlines the steps we will take to market your business effectively and attract the right buyers. Our experience and knowledge of various industries allow us to position your business in the best light.
Marketing Your Business
With your customized plan in place, we begin the marketing process. We create comprehensive marketing materials, including a Blind Profile and a Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM). The Blind Profile provides high-level information about your business without revealing your identity, while the CIM offers detailed insights to serious buyers who have signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
Identifying and Qualifying Buyers
Our extensive network of buyers allows us to identify and qualify potential buyers who are the right fit for your business. We use this network to create a robust list of interested parties and reach out to them with your marketing materials. This approach ensures that we attract serious buyers who are genuinely interested in your business.
Negotiations and Closing
Once we have identified interested buyers, we facilitate negotiations to ensure you get the best possible deal. Our team handles the intricacies of the negotiation process, allowing you to focus on running your business. We provide detailed insights into each offer, helping you make informed decisions.
Due Diligence and Finalization
After you’ve selected a buyer and signed a Letter of Intent (LOI), we guide you through the due diligence process. This involves thoroughly examining your business by the buyer to confirm all details. We manage this process to ensure it goes smoothly and efficiently. Finally, we assist with the closing process, ensuring all legal documents are in order and the transaction is completed successfully.
