Businesses Wanted
Beacon Advisors is a full-service M&A advisory firm that helps business owners confidentially sell their companies. We represent pre-qualified buyers—including private equity firms, family offices, strategic acquirers, and high-net-worth individuals—who are actively looking to acquire established businesses. As your intermediary, we guide you through every stage of the process: business valuation, preparation for market, targeted buyer outreach, negotiation, and final transaction execution.
Our buyer network is focused on acquiring businesses with revenues between $5 million and $250 million. These include companies in manufacturing, distribution, industrial and construction services, healthcare, professional services, and select technology sectors. Ideal candidates for acquisition are companies with a history of profitability, recurring or repeatable revenue streams, and strong internal management structures.
We start with a confidential discussion to understand your goals. Once engaged, we conduct a valuation and business readiness review. If you proceed, we develop professional marketing materials and share your business with a curated group of qualified buyers—under strict confidentiality. We manage buyer vetting, facilitate negotiations, oversee due diligence, and coordinate with your legal and financial teams to achieve a seamless and successful transaction.
Absolutely. Many of our most successful client engagements begin well before a formal sale process. Even if you’re planning to sell in 12–36 months, early consultation allows us to provide guidance on increasing business value, improving documentation, addressing operational risk, and developing a smooth transition plan. This preparation can significantly enhance deal outcomes when the time comes.
The sale of a business typically takes 6 to 9 months, though it can vary based on industry, business complexity, and buyer responsiveness. This includes time for preparation, marketing, buyer engagement, due diligence, and closing. Businesses that are better prepared, with clean financials and clear succession planning, tend to attract more interest and proceed more quickly through the process.
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our process. We use non-identifying teaser profiles when marketing your business. No sensitive information—such as your company name, client lists, or financials—is disclosed without your explicit consent. Only vetted buyers who sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) gain access to your confidential information package. You maintain control over how and when details are shared throughout the process.
Business valuation is based on a range of factors including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), revenue trends, customer concentration, competitive positioning, and industry outlook. We use real market data and buyer feedback to deliver a valuation that reflects both the financial fundamentals and the market demand for businesses like yours. Our goal is to position you for a premium exit that rewards your years of hard work.
