Boutique M&A Advisory · Minneapolis, MN

The best businesses
are bought, not sold.

We help founders exit on top, by being the partner most owners don't realize is missing.

Why Missing Capital

Why founders choose to work with us.

01

We start early

Most business brokers treat your company like a Realtor treats a house. List it, wait for a buyer, collect a commission. We partner well in advance of a liquidity event, when there is still time to shape the outcome.

02

We build value

While other advisors wait for the market, we work alongside you to grow the business. Clean financials. KPI dashboards. Reduced owner dependency. Active business development. Every month we are moving the valuation up before a buyer ever sees it.

03

Private and exclusive

No BizBuySell. No listing sites. No mass outreach to anyone with a checkbook. A confidential process that only invites the strategic buyers who have a real reason to want what you built.

Our Process

The 3 I's.

Look at our logo. The I is missing on purpose. That I is you, and every founder we work with moves through three of them: I need a plan. I need to prepare. I am ready to part.

I
Phase One

I Need a Plan

A deep-dive exit strategy session. You leave knowing what your business is actually worth and what it takes to get where you want to go.

Adjusted EBITDA · Comparable transactions · Valuation range · Exit readiness scorecard · Engagement roadmap
II
Phase Two

I Need to Prepare

We close the gap between where the business is today and what the right buyer expects to find. And we are running business development alongside you the whole way.

P&L normalization · KPI dashboard · SOP audit · Owner dependency plan · Active business development
III
Phase Three

I Am Ready to Part

A confidential process targeting buyers with a real reason to want what you built. Your job is to keep running your business. Ours is to get you the right deal.

CIM & teaser · Strategic buyer ideation · Offer analysis · LOI negotiation · Due diligence · Close

“Following Steve and his team's guidance helped me execute a gameplan that led to an exit worth 4x more than what I would have sold it for on my own.”
