For most owners, this happens once.
That's the moment we're built for.
Genuine Business Advisors works with owners of privately held companies across manufacturing, professional services, healthcare services, specialty trades, and niche distribution. Some come to us ready to sell. Some are growing through acquisition. Some are years out and want to build value before they decide. Most of our engagements fall between $1 million and $10 million in EBITDA, or $3 million to $75 million in revenue.
Selling the company you built
Buying the right business to take you further
Making the move that reshapes your business
You've spent years — probably decades — building something that works. Real customers, real people depending on it, a reputation you earned the hard way. When one of those decisions arrives, there's no playbook for it.

$1M–$10M EBITDA · $3M–$75M Revenue
We take on eight to ten engagements a year.
It's a deliberate limit, and it means we turn work away.
It also means the advisors you meet are the advisors who do your work — start to finish, every call, every negotiation. There's no handoff to a junior associate three weeks in, because there's no one to hand you off to.
Our founder built a company, grew it, and sold it to a private equity firm. He knows what it feels like to hand over something you built, and how much rides on getting it right. That perspective shapes how we work: candidly, confidentially, and with an understanding that the number on the page is only part of what you're deciding.
We also care about what comes after. Whether that's a next chapter or a bigger company than the one you started with, the closing table isn't the finish line — and we think that deserves as much thought as the transaction itself.
Your Advisors
Small by design. Most clients work directly with both of us, from the first conversation to the final signature.
Some situations call for specialized expertise. When that happens, we'll introduce you to a trusted advisor from our network and bring them onto the team only with your approval.
Start a confidential conversation
You don't need to have it figured out to get in touch. Most owners reach out well before they're ready to do anything. Every conversation is private, and there's no obligation.
