The owners of this innovative flat roofing company in Southern California had recently relocated to Florida to be closer to family. Our team generated 106 interested buyers. At the outset, they had sought a full sale of the business, but after our team identified a buyer seeking a partnership, we collectively shifted focus to find the right solution for all parties. Navigating licensing hurdles and location constraints, our team assisted the owners with deal structure: sell 50% of the business to the new owner and gradually phase out of the business. This allowed the new partner time to obtain proper licensure and preserved significant cash flow for the owners while they oversaw a slow transition over several years. All sales look different, and the deal innovation for this company ensured a positive outcome for all.

Our team attracted an international strategic buyer who paid an amount that was much higher than that oflocal buyers and met client expectations.

This was our first time selling a business, and Britt put us at ease as she helped us navigate the process. Her communication was excellent. If she wasn’t able to answer my phone calls, she always returned them promptly or sent a text or email with the time she would get back to me. This team was highly organised and provided tools for us to enter the necessary information requested by the buyers. The CFO and due diligence team were also extensive and efficient, helping to streamline the process and keep everything on track. We would definitely use Earned Exits again.
