Owner FAQ's

How long does the acquisition process take?

Most transactions are completed within 90–120 days from initial conversation to
closing, depending on the complexity of the business and availability of
financial documentation.

 Will my employees be retained?

Our goal is to preserve jobs and maintain continuity. We value the teams that built
these businesses and work hard to keep them in place post‑acquisition.

Do I need to stay involved after the sale?

That’s up to you. Some owners prefer a clean exit, while others choose to stay on short‑term to long-term in order to support the transition. We’re flexible and tailor the structure to your goals.

Will my company name and brand stay the same?

In most cases, yes. We respect the legacy and reputation you’ve built and aim to preserve your brand identity unless strategic changes are mutually agreed upon. Most of the time the acquisition will include an asset sale, which will create a new company, but we will maintain the name of the business through use of a dba, or "Doing Business As".

Is the process confidential?

Absolutely. All discussions are handled discreetly, and we never share information without your permission. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our approach during the acquisition process.

What kind of businesses are you looking for?

Right now, we are focused on profitable, service‑sector businesses based in Louisiana with stable cash flow, strong teams, and a history of operational excellence.

How do you determine valuation?

We use industry‑standard methods based on Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE), typically valuing businesses at 2.5x–4.5x SDE depending on performance, risk profile, and growth potential.

What’s the first step?

Reach out for a confidential conversation. We’ll learn about your business, understand your goals, and explore whether there’s a fit. No pressure, no obligation.
