Frequently Asked Questions
[01]
What do your deal structures look like?
We are nothing if not flexible on deal structure to maximize value for all stakeholders. We are open to some combination of cash upfront, earnouts, and seller notes.
[02]
How do you value my business?
Our valuation process involves a combination of financial performance, market assessment, and industry comparisons, among others. While we believe it’s both an art and a science, our ultimate goal is to be as transparent as possible.
[03]
What happens to my employees if I sell?
We strive to retain all employees post-close. As long-term stewards of your business, we focus on maintaining team stability and improving employee satisfaction by fostering an environment that supports both professional and personal development.
[04]
What can I expect from the due diligence and sale process?
The first step would be an introductory call to learn more about each other and assess if there is a fit. Following that, we execute a mutual NDA and collect basic information to help us build a prepared mind on your company’s financials, product, team, market positioning, growth opportunities, risks, and more. Within a couple weeks, we can prepare a letter of intent (LOI) and partnership proposal outlining specific ways we can add value. Following a signed LOI, we will complete due diligence within 60 days and close the acquisition.
[05]
What happens to me as the owner following a transaction?
We recognize that every situation is different. Whether you want to stay deeply involved, move into a new role, or step back entirely, we’ll work with you during the sale process to create a personal transition plan that fits your goals.
[06]
Will my company be integrated with other businesses?
No. Your business will remain independent under the Beacon umbrella, continuing to operate with its own identity and leadership while benefiting from our shared resources, expertise, and capital. Decisions such as potential tuck-in acquisitions are made collaboratively and transparently. This structure allows your business to benefit our support while maintaining autonomy and continuity for your customers.
[07]
How long does the process usually take?
We understand you are busy running your business and want to make the process as painless as possible. We can complete the full sale process within 90 days from start to finish.
[08]
How will my customers be affected post-acquisition?
Deep customer love is our north star. Our long-term commitment is to sustain, build, and strengthen your customer relationships for decades to come.
[09]
What if my financials and documents aren’t fully organized yet?
That’s no problem. We can quickly sort through and organize your books together. We’ll help build a clear financial picture of your business that will help answer our key questions in a smooth, efficient way.
[10]
What if I’m not sure my company is the right fit, or I’m not ready to sell yet?
We’d love to chat. Having a conversation doesn’t mean you have to commit to selling. We can talk through where your business stands, what your goals are, explore possibilities, and see if there’s a good fit. By getting to know your business now, we can build trust and a prepared mind to help you move quickly and confidently when the time is right.
