Our belief
Your business deserves a thoughtful transition. Preparation, buyer fit, and deal terms all matter. We help you understand the tradeoffs and make decisions with your priorities in view.
Our mission
We approach each transition with care for the people and work behind it. That means honest advice, clear explanations, and a willingness to say when an offer or a sale does not fit your goals.
Mergers and acquisitions consulting: your questions answered.
You don’t need every answer before starting a conversation.
-
Both can support a business sale. The right approach depends on the complexity of your business, likely buyers, and preparation involved. Our M&A advisor services support more complex transactions, while our business brokers provide a focused process for owner-operated businesses. You do not need to know your transaction value before we talk; we help you identify the approach that fits your goals.
-
That is a good time to start a conversation. Exit planning can help you understand your options, identify what may affect value, and prepare at a pace that fits your goals. A conversation does not commit you to a sale.
-
We plan how and when business information is shared, use confidentiality agreements where appropriate, and discuss buyer qualification before sensitive details are released. We will walk you through the process and the limits of confidentiality in a transaction.
-
Yes. We help buyers clarify acquisition goals, consider opportunities, and navigate the process. Start with a conversation about the type of business you are looking for and your objectives.
-
Your first conversation is approximately 30 minutes with one of our managing partners. We begin with your business, goals, timing, and questions, then discuss whether our services fit and what a useful next step could be. Before an engagement begins, we agree on scope and responsibilities. You do not need to have decided to sell before reaching out.
-
A mergers and acquisitions consultant helps owners prepare for a transaction, understand potential buyers, evaluate offers, and navigate the sale process. At Sailfish, this includes reviewing the business’s financial story, planning confidential outreach, comparing deal terms, and coordinating diligence with your legal, tax, and other professional advisors. Our role is to explain your options and guide decisions around your priorities.
-
An offer is more than its headline price. We help you evaluate the buyer, what is paid at closing, what depends on future performance, and what obligations may remain after the sale. We also consider conditions, timing, and alternatives before you decide how to respond. Bring the offer and your questions to a confidential conversation.
-
A boutique approach keeps your priorities central to the engagement. At Sailfish, you begin with a managing partner and receive guidance grounded in buyer access, preparation, negotiation experience, and personal involvement. We take time to explain why a buyer may be suitable, what preparation matters, and how deal terms affect your outcome. Our team brings 25 years of experience and more than 1,000 transactions across Florida to those conversations.
