FAQ
What's the timeline?
15‑min intro → light docs → LOI in 24–72 hours → close in 60–90 days (deal and lender dependent).
What kind of financing do you use?
SBA or conventional senior debt + my equity. I sign the PG. Simple structure, clean close.
Will you retrade after signing LOI?
Only on material variances from provided financials. Otherwise, we honor our LOI.
What documents do you need to give an LOI?
Last 3 years P&L, YTD P&L, customer concentration summary (no names), contract roll‑off, AR aging, org chart with owner duties.
How do you value the business?
Based on verified earnings, contract quality/renewals, customer concentration, and required owner replacement.
What happens to my team?
Keep the team. We back the existing ops lead and techs/crews; we’re not buying to slash.
What’s my role post‑close?
Flexible. Typical: 3–6 months part‑time transition. Optional advisory thereafter.

Is this confidential?
Yes. We keep your info tight; we share only with lender/advisors as needed under NDA.
Are you a broker?

What if we already have a broker?
No problem—I work through your broker. My process stays the same: fast, respectful, founder‑friendly.
How invasive is diligence?
Right‑sized. We stick to essentials: financials, contracts, customers, people, safety/compliance. We minimize distraction to ops.
Will you pay a higher price if I finance part?
We prioritize clean deals. If structure reduces risk (e.g., short seller note), we can reflect that in terms.
Working capital at close?
Standard net working capital peg based on trailing norms so the business can run day one.
Taxes and fees?
Each party covers their advisors. We pay our lender/legal costs; you pay yours. No hidden fees.
