Most owners sell once. Our team of advisors closes deals every year.
A well-run process brings more buyers, protects your confidentiality and closes at a better price than a direct approach.
You do not need more buyers. You only need the right one.
We have 20 buyers on hand looking to buy businesses in different industries. You just need 3 qualified buyers for your business.
Staff and customers hear from you, not the market
Blind teasers, staged disclosure, NDAs before any name is shared.
Priced on evidence
Sector multiples, normalised earnings and buyer appetite, not a hopeful number.
Deal structure that protects you
Earn-outs, vendor loans, handover terms. We negotiate the whole deal, not only the headline.
Singapore based, regional buyers
Buyers from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan and beyond.
How a sale runs
Six to nine months, start to close. You keep running the business. We run the process.

Questions owners ask first
What does it cost to sell through you?
Transparent engagement fee based on success only milestones. 1% to 5%, no upfront fee, S$100,000 minimum. The minimum means the effective rate rises below about S$2m of transaction value, so we are poor value under that and will say so rather than take the mandate.
Will my staff, customers or competitors find out?
Not from us. Buyers first see an anonymous teaser. Your company name is only released after a signed NDA and your approval, buyer by buyer.
Is my business too small for you?
We advise on businesses from about S$1m in value, with most work between S$3m and S$30m. If yours is smaller, the valuation tool still gives you a range and a preparation guide.
How long does a sale take?
Typically six to nine months from mandate to completion. Preparation before going to market is what most affects the timeline and the price.
Do I need to stay after the sale?
Usually a handover of 6 to 12 months. How long, and on what terms, is negotiated as part of the deal. Low owner dependency shortens it.
Thinking about selling in the next two years?
A confidential 30 minute call. We tell you what your business is likely worth and what to fix first.
