The reality of buying a business

Every business looks good in the teaser. The risks live in what the seller doesn’t put on page one.

Earnings that won’t repeat

One-off contracts and generous add-backs can make a business look stronger than it is. You pay for profit that never arrives.

We test the quality of earnings before you set a price.

Value that leaves with the founder

When key customers, staff or know-how depend on one person, you’re buying a relationship, not a business.

We map every dependency and plan the handover.

A plan that ends at closing

Value is rarely lost at signing. It slips away in the months after, when nobody owns the plan and the back office can’t keep up.

We stay on to integrate, report and run operations.

A leadership team in a boardroom discussion

Our role is to help you make a sound decision, including when that means walking away.

Our approach

We sit on one side of the table. Yours.

We only advise buyers, so our advice has one job: protect your interests. We bring strategic vision to the decision and disciplined execution to everything after it.

Independent judgment

Advice shaped by your goals, never by the need to close.

Evidence before opinion

Findings that show what’s proven, what’s promised and what it means for price.

Named owners, agreed deliverables

You always know who is responsible, what’s coming and when.

The difference

Two ways the first year can go

Going it alone

  • A price based on the seller’s numbers
  • Surprises that surface after closing
  • A handover that depends on goodwill
  • Leadership buried in month-end and admin

With Strativiz

  • A price grounded in evidence
  • Risks known, and planned for, before you sign
  • A day-one plan with named owners
  • Monthly numbers you trust, and a team focused on growth
