Sell-side Bank/M&A Advisor referrals for $1-1.5M sale?

March 26, 2021

by a searcher from University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School in New York, NY, USA

We recently listed our business for sale with only legal and financial counsel, and without a broker or bank to assist us. We had spoken with many firms from the “BizBuySell Broker” community, and felt we would do a better job of representing the business to buyers.
While we believe we've handled the initial process well, including fielding initial buer interest, we’re continuing to evaluate representation options.

At our size, are there any lower market banks, M&A advisors, or other advisory firms that anyone would recommend we connect with? Alternatively, are there communities we should be looking into ourselves (like AMAA)?

Appreciate any assistance, thanks!


Additional Details:

- San Francisco based business

- ~$600k in annual revenue, ~$450k in TTM discretionary earnings, $1.4M current asking price

- Services offered: Virtual team building activities. Formerly, in person events in the SF Bay Area as well

Hi anonymous. If your deal has at least $ 500,000 in cash flow or EBITDA, you can list it for free with Interexo.com or X5deals.com . Both sites never ask for any referral or transaction fees and only paying subscribers see the deals (more serious inquiries from motivated buyers).
