What we do

We help owners of great businesses get the best deal possible so they can move on to the next chapter in their career and life.

Our relationship with sellers begins with trust, and every engagement begins with a free and confidential valuation to better understand the potential transaction. We only market the business to buyers when the business owner is confident with the expected deal.

Selling your business with Trailhead

Prepare Financials

Selling begins with an analysis and valuation of your business.

We dig into your financials and perform our own due diligence, getting ahead of potential buyer objections before marketing the transaction.

Market the Transaction

After analysis and valuation, we market your deal using every available marketplace and our own proprietary buyer list.

Your business is marketed confidentially, and we distribute information, NDAs, and field inquiries.

Find a Buyer

Finding the right buyer and agreeing to the best terms is incredibly important.

We help you select the buyer who will not only get to closing, but will steward your business and legacy for the next generation.

Support Due Diligence

The due diligence and closing process is filled with challenges, and Trailhead handles this so you can continue to run your business.

We assist in all aspects of closing, from assistance drafting the key purchase documents to working directly with the buyer's lender to obtain financing.

Lower Middle Market

Too large for brokers, too small for investment banks

We focus on profitable, privately businesses in the lower middle market.
