Not at all. Many of the owners I work with are a few years away from selling. Starting early gives you time to prepare, understand what your business is worth and plan ahead, so you have options when the right time comes.

A valuation is more than a number. I prepare yours personally, starting with learning about your business and your goals. From there, I evaluate your financials, the strengths and risks buyers will weigh, current market conditions and what similar businesses have sold for. Then I share it with you in a one-on-one review, so you understand what your business is worth and why.

Protecting your confidentiality is part of every stage of the process. Your business is marketed without your name, and every buyer signs a confidentiality agreement before receiving any information. Documents are shared through Iconic's secure platform.

Your business is marketed confidentially on business-for-sale marketplaces and to Iconic's network of investment firms, companies in your industry and individual buyers. Together with Iconic's team, I also identify buyers who are a strong fit and contact them directly. Buyers are screened before they receive details.

You'll work with me directly from our first conversation to closing. You'll also have your own seller portal that shows where your sale stands, what's needed from you, your documents and every offer, with one button to connect with me. When offers arrive, we compare them side by side and decide together which to accept, counter or decline. I'll advocate for your best interests in every negotiation, so every decision is yours to make with confidence.

Every sale is different. Iconic's technology keeps the process organized and efficient, which helps deals close faster, and preparing ahead of time makes it even smoother.
