Selling your firm isn’t something you improvise. Yet too often, founders approach a sale without an acquirer’s perspective. They fail to identify and address weaknesses before buyers inevitably do, struggle to demonstrate financial predictability, and/or neglect to put forward their strongest assets - the ones that truly drive valuation. The result is delayed processes, downward pressure on multiples, and a loss of control over timing.

The Problem

Our approach is centered around a single guiding thread: our proprietary h© framework. Inspired by Arch Group’s serial acquirer experience, it brings the perspective of a sector-savvy acquirer or investor, maps your company’s maturity, benchmarks it against peers, and builds a clear roadmap to both fix weaknesses and highlight strengths - making your business more resilient, predictable, and irresistible to acquirers.
