When your business is worth eight figures, your buyer is not the guy leaving corporate to buy a job. It is a fund with a checkbook and a thesis.

Here's the quick version:
🏦 Private equity firms buying platforms and add ons
🔎 Search funds run by operators hunting one great company
👪 Family offices looking for stable cash flow
🏭 Strategic buyers acquiring for market share or capability
🤝 Each type values your business a little differently

In the lower middle market, matching the right buyer type to your business is half the game. A private equity platform pays for growth and management depth. A strategic buyer pays for your reach, your customers, and the capabilities you already built. Knowing who should be at the table, and running a competitive process among them, is how you get a premium instead of a fair price. That is the work we do through Valorem Advisors.

Curious which buyer type fits your company? Let's talk it through.

Working capital is the deal term that surprises the most sellers at closing. Here is what it is and why it moves your net.

Just listed, and this one is sweet. An established South Florida dessert concept with real books and a loyal following.

Here's the quick version:
🍦 Turnkey dessert business in a high traffic South Florida spot
💵 Solid SDE with clean, verifiable financials
👥 Trained staff and repeatable systems in place
📈 Room to grow with catering and a second location
🔒 Name and details confidential, NDA required

This is the kind of business buyers ask me for and rarely find: profitable, well run, and simple to step into. The current owner built something people love, and now it is ready for its next chapter. Serious, qualified buyers only.

Want the full picture? Sign the NDA and I will send the details.

Another Florida service business is under new ownership this month. Congratulations to both sides.

A word on something we get asked about constantly. A business like this one is a strong fit for the E2 investor visa. An international buyer invests in a real operating company, moves here, and runs it.

Buying is not the hard part. The hard part is running the visa track and the closing track at the same time without one derailing the other.

That is our piece. We say up front which listings qualify. We get the financials into the shape an immigration attorney needs. We keep the seller calm while the paperwork does its thing.

I get it. Paying a broker fee stings. But here is what most owners miss when they try to sell solo.

Here's the quick version:
🕵️ Confidentiality is almost impossible to protect on your own
📣 One leak to staff or customers can tank your value
💼 Buyers negotiate harder against an unrepresented seller
⏱️ DIY sales drag on, and time kills deals
💰 A good broker usually nets you more, even after the fee

Selling your business is nothing like selling a car. You have one shot, the stakes are your life's work, and the buyer across the table does this for a living. My job is to run a confidential process, create competition, and keep the deal moving when it wants to stall. Owners who go it alone often leave money on the table or never close at all.

Here is the question that stops most owners cold, and it has nothing to do with money: what will you do the Monday after you sell?

Here's the quick version:
🌅 The check is exciting, the empty calendar is not
🎯 Owners who plan the next chapter sell with more confidence
😌 A clear reason to sell makes negotiations easier
👨👩👧 Family, travel, a new venture, all valid, but decide first
🧭 Knowing your after keeps you from backing out at the table

I have watched great deals fall apart at the finish line because the owner suddenly did not know who they were without the business. The ones who close cleanly figured out their next move before they signed. Selling closes one chapter and opens the one you actually want.

If you can picture your life after the sale, you are more ready than you think. Let's map the path there.

Should you finance your own buyer? Often yes, and it can lift your price. Here is how to decide, and how to protect yourself.

Atlanta business owners, a quick reality check before you sell: the metro is one of the most active small business markets in the Southeast, and buyers know it.

Here's the quick version:
🏙️ Metro Atlanta has deep buyer demand across trades and services
🏦 SBA lenders are comfortable funding Georgia deals
📈 Population growth keeps drawing in relocating buyers
🔍 Clean, well run businesses move quickly here
🤝 Local market knowledge matters when you set your price

I cover Georgia alongside Florida and Tennessee, and Atlanta stands out. The demand is there, but so is the competition among sellers. The owners who win are the ones who prepare early, price to what the market will actually pay, and present financials a lender can approve without a fight.

Own a business in metro Atlanta and thinking about your exit? Let's talk about what it is worth today.
