A Proven Exit Process,
Designed By People Who’ve Done It

At Sea Ridge Advisory, we use a process built from real-world exits — not theory. We’ve sold our own companies, and now we help others do the same with strategy, speed, and confidentiality.

  • We start with a confidential, no-pressure call to learn about your goals, timeline, and what matters to you. No canned pitch — just real advice from someone who’s been there.

  • We provide a data-driven business valuation for manufacturing, industrial, and engineering companies — grounded in market comps, financials, and our personal knowledge of how buyers think.

  • You’re not selling a coffee shop. Your business needs a tailored exit strategy that communicates operational value, client stickiness, and upside potential to serious buyers.

  • We contact qualified strategic and financial buyers, including private equity firms, roll-up groups, and synergistic acquirers across the U.S. — all under strict confidentiality.

  • We lead the process from LOI to close, helping you maximize your deal structure — not just price. That means better terms, risk mitigation, and clarity on what you’re walking away with.

  • We manage the heavy lift of legal, financial, and operational due diligence so you can stay focused on running your business until the day you hand over the keys.

Ask Us A Question

  • The right time depends on a combination of financial performance, market conditions, and personal goals. Our advisors analyze your company’s financials, current market multiples, and buyer demand to determine optimal timing for a sale. Even if you’re 6–24 months away, an early strategy can increase your final value significantly.

  • We specialize in lower to middle-market companies, generally with $2M–$100M in annual revenue or $500K–$10M in EBITDA. Through our sub-brands—The Precision Firm, The Alignment Firm, Home Care Business Broker, and TAF Advisory—we represent businesses in manufacturing, real estate services, home care, professional services, and distribution.

  • Your business valuation is based on a detailed review of financial performance, market comparables, assets, growth trends, and risk factors. Our valuation process goes beyond formulas—we use real-time deal data and buyer feedback from our network to establish market-accurate valuations.

  • Confidentiality is at the core of every engagement. We use blind summaries, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and controlled buyer outreach to protect your identity until a qualified buyer is vetted. Our process ensures your employees, customers, and competitors never learn your business is for sale.

  • Our compensation is primarily success-based, meaning we only get paid when your deal closes. Fees are typically a percentage of the transaction value, aligned with industry standards and tailored to deal size. This ensures our goals are directly aligned with yours—maximizing your sale value.

  • ost transactions close within 6 to 12 months, depending on deal size, industry, and buyer activity. Preparation, valuation, and buyer qualification take time—but our structured process keeps every stage moving efficiently without compromising confidentiality or leverage.

  • Start by gathering basic financials (3 years), tax returns, and an overview of key operations. You don’t need to have everything perfect—our team helps you prepare. Scheduling a confidential consultation is the best way to learn your options and build a plan tailored to your goals.

  • It depends on the buyer and deal structure. Some owners exit fully, while others remain for a short transition period or retain minor equity in a partial sale. We help you negotiate the exit terms that match your personal and financial goals.
