Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Who is this service for?
This is ideal for founders planning to exit, PE-backed brands preparing for sale, or investors seeking an operator-partner to increase post-acquisition value. If you’re aiming to sell or scale before an exit, this is for you.
2. How are you different from an M&A advisor or broker?
I’m not just facilitating the deal—I optimize the business before the sale. As a CMO-led operator, I bring executional expertise to boost revenue, fix bottlenecks, and enhance brand value before and after the transaction.
3. Do you invest in the companies you work with?
Yes—when aligned. I operate as a fundless sponsor, meaning I co-invest or syndicate capital on a deal-by-deal basis. If there’s mutual fit, I may come in as a strategic buyer or operator-led partner.
4. What if I’m not ready to sell yet?
That’s perfectly fine. Many clients start with my Fractional CMO or 1:1 Consultation services to build traction first. The Buyout & Exit Support service can begin 6–24 months before a target exit.
5. Can you connect me to investors or buyers?
Yes. I maintain relationships with strategic buyers, PE firms, and acquisition entrepreneurs. I can help position you for outreach or bring in capital partners through my fundless syndicate network.
6. How do you charge for this service?
It depends on the engagement. Options include fixed consulting fees, success-based incentives, or equity/earn-out participation in select cases. I’ll propose a model that aligns with your timeline and goals.
