A one-day, behind-the-scenes deep dive into what actually happens between the first conversation and the closing table.
4 OUT OF 5 NEVER SELL.
MOST WHO DO, REGRET IT.

Most business owners will make the biggest financial transaction of their lives exactly once. The people sitting across the table usually do it for a living.

That’s a hell of a knowledge gap when your company, your retirement, your employees, and decades of work are sitting in the middle of the table.

Most owners know their business cold. They know their customers, their people, their equipment and their margins. They can tell you exactly why last March sucked and why this September looks better.

And suddenly, you’re expected to make decisions about things you’ve never had to understand before, while the people across the table already know exactly how the game works.

Then somebody asks what the company is worth. Or an unsolicited offer shows up. Or a buyer starts talking about EBITDA, working capital, rollover equity, earnouts, QoE, exclusivity and a dozen other things the owner has never had a reason to deal with before.

That’s a really shitty time to start learning.

LEARN HOW THE DEAL WORKS BEFORE YOUR COMPANY, YOUR MONEY AND YOUR FUTURE ARE THE ONES ON THE LINE.
We'll work through a Mains Street Deal together, from first conversation to the closing table, in 3 parts:

We’ll pull back the curtain on a Main Street business transaction and show you what really happens from the first conversation to the closing table.

We’ll cover normalized earnings, valuation, buyers, LOIs, deal structure, diligence, financing, negotiations, retrading and the other moving pieces that determine whether a deal actually gets done. Theory is worthless without the real-world mechanics behind it.

Then we’ll give you the financials, facts and background for a sample Main Street company and start working the deal.

You’ll dig into what the business really earns, what it might actually be worth, who might buy it, what those buyers see, and what an offer really means once you get past the headline number. This is where you put what you just learned to work.

An accepted offer isn’t the finish line.

We’ll keep working the sample transaction through diligence, financing, negotiations and the issues that surface along the way so you can see how decisions made earlier in the deal affect what happens later. By the time we're done, you'll understand how a main street deal actually works, where the leverage shifts, what can K*ll it, and what it takes to get to the closing table.
