​Advanced Business Advisors
Sources Proprietary Deal Flow for Strategic Buyers!

Project-based service to support growth initiatives through acquisition for small to mid-market firms ($5 - $50 million).  Each program is custom designed based on client defined targets.  Serving the Midwest region. ​

There are many factors and complexities of buying a business and often the best deals are found before a company is ever listed on the open market. We understand these challenges which is why we have created business buying services uniquely designed for corporate (strategic) buyers.

Most companies cannot justify the expense of having a team dedicated to business acquisitions.  Yet, business acquisitions, if executed properly, can be a great and effective growth strategy.

Our services are best suited for smaller mid-market clients who have well-defined size, type and geographic search criteria.

Our Pricing

Retainer and Hourly Fees:
A retainer is established in a formalized acquisition search engagement along with an hourly rate for work provided. The fees collected during the search are partially-credited against the Success Fees at closing.  Therefore, once an acquisition has been completed, much of these fees are generally offset.
​
Success Fees:
The majority of our fees are earned upon the successful completion of a transaction.

Expenses:
We generally don't incur many, if any, out-of-pocket expenses related to buy-side clients.  However, if significant travel or other extraordinary expenses are required we will request reimbursement, subject to pre-approval.
