Get Expert Guidance Through the 4 Stages of Your Business Exit
Selling a business isn’t just about finding a buyer—it’s about securing the right deal, on the right terms, with a process that maximizes value at every stage - all while maintaining discretion. Most brokers list your business, wait, and hope for the best. Arx takes a more strategic approach, ensuring that your business is positioned, marketed, and negotiated to achieve the strongest possible outcome.
Phase 1: Evaluation & Strategy Development
Uncover Hidden Value & Define Your Exit Plan
Every engagement begins with a CPA-backed business valuation and an expert market analysis. Many brokers focus solely on financials, but we go deeper—identifying strategic value that competitors and buyers will pay a premium for. During the Evaluation Phase we’ll determine the right go-to-market approach.
We determine the right approach based on:
Market conditions and industry trends
Buyer demand and competition
Financial profile and strategic positioning
Your goals for speed, certainty, and deal structure
The result is a clear go-to-market strategy tailored to your business, designed to attract the strongest buyers and maximize your exit.
Phase 2: Buyer Outreach & Marketing
Reaching the Right Buyers—Confidentially & Proactively
Most brokers rely on passive listing sites, exposing your business to tire-kickers and unqualified buyers. We take a proactive, data-driven approach to reach strategic acquirers who will recognize—and pay for—your business’s true value.
Once we define the best go-to-market approach in Phase 1, we launch a highly targeted buyer outreach campaign to drive demand while protecting confidentiality.
We leverage:
AI-driven research & data enrichment to identify the right buyers faster.
A private, curated buyer list built for your specific business and industry.
Direct outreach to strategic buyers, private equity firms, and family offices.
Confidential marketing to attract interest while keeping sensitive details protected.
Rather than waiting for buyers to come to us, we actively market your business to those most likely to see its value—driving multiple offers and stronger negotiations.
Phase 3: Negotiation & Deal Structuring
More Than Just Price—We Negotiate Every Detail to Maximize Your Outcome
Most brokers set a price, wait for offers, and hope for the best. We take a strategic, hands-on approach to negotiating every component of your deal—because the structure, terms, and timing often matter more than the price itself.
Here’s what we focus on to ensure you walk away with the best deal:
Total Deal Value & Payment Terms – Maximizing cash at close while structuring earnouts, seller financing, and holdbacks to reduce risk.
Timing & Transition – Whether it’s an immediate exit or phased handoff, we negotiate terms that align with your goals.
Contingencies & Liabilities – Setting clear performance conditions and minimizing post-sale risks.
Tax & Legal Structure – Optimizing for capital gains treatment and minimizing tax burdens.
Non-Compete & Future Restrictions – Protecting both your opportunities and the buyer’s investment.
Stronger Negotiation, Better Terms, Maximum Value
Because we drive competition, you don’t just get more offers—you get better terms. We don’t settle for the first deal. We leverage multiple buyers against each other, ensuring you control your exit and maximize your outcome.
A successful deal is about more than price—it’s about structuring the right exit for you. That’s what we do best.
Phase 4: Due Diligence & Closing
Keeping Your Deal on Track & Protecting Your Interests
Due diligence is where many deals fall apart—delays, surprises, and miscommunication can kill momentum and give buyers cold feet. At Arx, we proactively manage the process to keep everything moving forward, reducing friction and ensuring a smooth, successful close.
Here’s how we protect your deal:
Process Management – We coordinate with legal, financial, and operational stakeholders to eliminate bottlenecks and keep everyone aligned.
Buyer Accountability – We ensure buyers meet deadlines, minimizing stalling tactics and reducing the risk of deal fatigue.
Technology & Tracking – Our systems streamline document management, data sharing, and progress tracking to avoid delays.
Risk Mitigation – We anticipate and address red flags before they become deal-breakers, keeping negotiations on course.
Transition Planning – Built into the deal structure, ensuring a clear roadmap for both parties post-close.
A Smoother Closing, A Stronger Transition
Our goal isn’t just to get to closing—it’s to get you there with confidence. By proactively managing due diligence, keeping buyers engaged, and reducing roadblocks, we make sure your exit is as seamless as possible.Sell With Confidence
