The challenge
The buyer was evaluating opportunities through a long-term growth lens, not simply looking for revenue. Capacity, client mix, location, financing, and transition support all had to work together.
How we approached it
- Defined acquisition criteria before reviewing opportunities.
- Used a structured diligence checklist to compare fit and risk.
- Prepared questions for seller conversations around clients, workflow, and transition expectations.
- Mapped a first-year plan covering communication, retention, and operating priorities.
A more confident next step
The buyer narrowed the search with confidence and moved into the selected opportunity with clear priorities for the first year of ownership.
