We've been on every side of this. Built a company from nothing to eight figures and sold it. Worked on the private equity side of the table. And we come out of accounting, so the financials aren't handed off to an analyst — we read them ourselves, and we speak your accountant's language when it counts. That mix means we understand what a buyer is looking for, what an owner is weighing, and what the numbers are really saying.

Most owners have an accountant, an attorney, and a banker, and each plays an important part. But helping you think the whole thing through usually falls to no one. That's our role. We work alongside your advisors, keep everyone moving in the same direction, and stay with you until you're where you set out to get.

What do you want out of this?

Grow it. Buy something. Sell it. Which one is right depends entirely on what you want the next stage of your life to look like — and that's the question almost nobody asks an owner before advising them.

We ask it first.

Who We Are

You know your business. We know what's coming.

Too big for a business broker. Too small for most investment banks. That's where a lot of well-run companies sit, and where we work, whether the owner is growing, buying, or selling.

Not sure we’re the right fit? Ask. If not, we'll point you in the right direction.

Owners who have built something real should get advice that starts with what they want. By the time an owner starts thinking about what's next, the business has become a big part of their life, and the decision ahead is about more than a number. We started GBA to give owners room to slow down, see the full picture, and decide where they're headed before anything is set in motion.

Once that's clear, the path usually follows. Sometimes the answer is to move forward now: sell, buy, or invest in growth. Sometimes it's to wait a year, fix something first, or pass on an offer that isn't the right one. Whatever the answer, we'll tell you plainly, show you the numbers behind it, and help you get there on your timeline.

The business works. Growth flattened, margins slipped somewhere you can't pinpoint, and you can't take three weeks off. All fixable, usually faster than you'd think.

→ Strategic & Growth Advisory
Building the next stage takes years. Buying it takes months — if you know what you're actually acquiring.

→ Growth Through Acquisition
Fewer than a third of businesses that go to market ever sell, and three out of four owners who do sell regret it within a year — usually because nobody helped them plan for what came after. Preparation is the difference, and it starts earlier than most owners expect.

→ Sell-Side Representation
