SELL-SIDE ADVISORY SERVICES
MABAS specializes in lower middle market M&A advisory, leveraging our experience in transaction structuring to maximize sale value. In concert with tax and legal professionals, we help business owners mitigate tax implications and minimize post-transaction integration risks.
We have a significant network of financial, strategic/industry and entrepreneurial acquirers with whom we regularly discuss acquisition opportunities. If needed by acquirers, we also have relationships with lenders and investors to whom we refer transactions.
Our Sell-Side process includes performing a business valuation, the creation of a Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM), the development of a targeted buyer universe, and the implementation of a multi-pronged marketing approach to create acquirer interest. As acquirer candidates are identified, we represent our seller clients’ business to acquirers with the goal being to obtain offers that result in a sale.

Our 4-Step Selling Process
BUSINESS VALUATION
Our M&A Advisors and Valuation Specialists partner with you, starting with a comprehensive business valuation of your company and its market position. In addition to analyzing your financials, we also assess your business's strengths and current market dynamics.
We start by meticulously assessing your business’s true value and current market standing. This rigorous process is designed to help you determine the most strategic and profitable asking price.
This foundational step ensures you set an optimal asking price, eliminate guesswork, and positions you for a successful sale.
SECURE THE RIGHT BUYER
Finding the ideal buyer for your company is paramount — someone who not only recognizes your company's value but also has the strong intent and capability to close the deal. We leverage our extensive network to confidentially market your company, ensuring it reaches the most suitable prospects.
To protect your sensitive information, all potential buyers are required to sign a non-disclosure/confidentiality agreement and undergo pre-qualification before receiving any proprietary details about your sale. Once a buyer submits a Letter of Intent (LOI) to purchase, we take an additional step by requiring a personal financial statement to further validate their capacity to complete the acquisition.
TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT AND EXECUTION
MABAS Advisors are experienced at providing smooth and straightforward transactions. Your dedicated Advisor will meticulously manage the entire sale process on your behalf, coordinating every detail. We'll collaborate with all key parties — including banks, attorneys, accountants, real estate brokers, insurance agents, and landlords — to ensure a seamless and successful close. Our goal is to simplify the process, giving you peace of mind en route to a successful sale. Our commitment is to simplify the complexities, providing you with peace of mind as we help you achieve a successful sale.
SUCCESSFUL CLOSE & TRANSITION
The closing of your sale marks the culmination of your dedication — the well-deserved reward for the time, effort, and energy you invested in building your business. This is a moment to celebrate your success. We'll also assist you with any transitional needs you may have after the close, ensuring a smooth handoff. With MABAS, you gain a trusted partner committed to your successful outcome.
