A person reads your note.
We start with the question you are trying to resolve, not with a listing agreement or a request for financial records.
For owners thinking about what comes next
Business
Handoff
Compare business succession and sale options before a process starts.
Selling to an outside buyer is one route. Family succession, an employee or management transition, and waiting to prepare are others. Business Handoff gives owners a private place to compare them before the business is listed or identified.

See all six insights04 / What matters
More than a sale
The right outcome is more than a number.
Price matters. So do the terms, the timing, and what happens to the business afterward. The next owner might already be inside the business. Or they may be someone you have never met. You may decide the time is not right at all. We help you understand the choices before you commit to one.
05 / After you write
What happens after you write
A conversation before a process.
We sort the possible routes.
A family handoff, an internal sale, an outside buyer, or more time to prepare can lead to very different next steps.
You decide what happens next.
Nothing is listed, sent to a buyer, or referred to another professional without your permission.
06 / Confidentiality
Confidential from the first note
Quiet by default.
Employees and customers should not learn that you are considering a handoff before you are ready to tell them. Your inquiry stays private. We will not publish the business or share anything that could identify it without your permission. That includes contacting a buyer.
07 / For buyers
For prospective owners
