Single Transaction
You found the business. We engage on that specific deal and run everything from valuation to closing. Non-exclusive while you search, exclusive only on the deal we work together.

What Representation Covers
Everything between "I found it" and "I own it."
Buying a business is a sequence of decisions where the other side has done this before and you have not. Representation closes that gap at every step.
Target analysis and valuation
We normalize the financials, verify the earnings, and model what the business is actually worth before you commit to anything.
Financing strategy
SBA 7(a), seller financing, and blended structures, stress-tested against real lender requirements before the offer is written.
Offer and LOI engineering
A financeable, defensible offer with terms that protect you, reviewed by our Managing Director before it goes out.
Negotiation
Counters handled with discipline and momentum, so the deal moves toward closing instead of unraveling.
Due diligence management
A managed checklist across financials, taxes, contracts, staff, customers, and suppliers, with findings translated into decisions.
Closing coordination
Lender, attorney, landlord, and seller kept on one timeline, through funding and the handover of the keys.
The EDGE Deal Hub
Every engagement runs on our proprietary deal platform.
The Deal Hub is the analytical engine behind every EDGE representation: the same depth of modeling a private equity firm brings to a nine-figure deal, applied to yours.
Normalized financials
Three years of P&L rebuilt line by line, add-backs itemized, and adjusted SDE established, so you negotiate from verified earnings.
Valuation and market comps
Market-multiple valuation benchmarked against real comparable sales, showing exactly where the asking price stands.
Capital stack and debt service
Your full financing structure modeled with debt service coverage, amortization, and collateral, tested the way a lender will test it.
Forecast and returns
Multi-year forecasts and return scenarios, plus the monthly first-year projection lenders want to see.
Risk assessment
Customer concentration, staff dependence, supplier exposure, and financial reconciliation, surfaced before diligence instead of after.
Buyer readiness
Your search thesis, financial statement, financing checklist, and search team organized so lenders see a prepared buyer, not a hopeful one.

Senior Eyes on Every Deal
The platform does the math. Leadership makes it judgment.
Managing Director review
Every LOI and offer is reviewed before delivery by our Managing Director, whose background spans $50M+ in commercial SBA lending and $60M+ in private equity transactions.
Legal oversight
Managing Counsel on staff for deal structure, engagement agreements, and regulatory compliance, so surprises get caught on paper, not at closing.
Growth support after close
Our dedicated Growth Advisor works with you after the acquisition, because the goal is not just owning the business. It is growing it.
Two Ways to Engage
Built around where you are, not where we want you to be.
Full Search
A structured, professional search. We build the thesis, source and screen deal flow, and then take the right target through the same closing process.
Compare the two modelsEngagement terms are straightforward, and we walk you through them first.
Every buyer engagement starts with a conversation about your situation, the right model for it, and exactly what the terms look like. No obligation, and nothing signed until it makes sense to you.
