Selling Your Business?
Selling your business can feel overwhelming – even for experienced owners.
At GPS, we simplify the process into clear, manageable steps.
We handle the heavy lifting so you can stay focused on running your company while we help you secure the maximum value at closing.
With “The GPS 90-Day to Maximum Value Blueprint”- we solve the most common pain points in the selling process.
Here’s how we do it:
- GPS “MBA on Call” Financials Preparation & Valuation Estimate
Before we begin, we sign an NDA to ensure your confidentiality.
The GPS MBA on Call team requests required financial information to calculate your Enterprise value.
Your financials are packaged, adjusted where needed, and prepared for external consumption.
GPS MBA on Call calculates your EBITDA estimate.
You are presented with an estimated Enterprise Value, which is the amount our experts believe your business will sell for in the marketplace.
If your current numbers don’t align with your financial goals, we’ll design a value improvement plan before going to market – ensuring you sell at the right time, for the right price.
- GPS “Turnkey Packaging” Professional Marketing Materials
We create both a Teaser and a comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) utilizing our Turnkey Packaging system which highlights what makes your business valuable and unique. This pain-free system, managed by the GPS Turnkey Packaging marketing team, curates your required marketing materials with minimal input from your team.
These materials are crafted to attract serious buyers – not tire-kickers – and present your company in the most compelling way possible.

- GPS “Grand Slam” Offer Evaluation & Negotiation Support
As Letters of Intent (LOIs) begin to arrive, the GPS Grand Slam team helps you evaluate and compare offers to ensure they’re both logical and advantageous. We dig into the motivation of each potential buyer to see if your business is a want or a need. The Grand Slam team meticulously analyzes each offer behind the scenes to determine your available leverage and strongest negotiation position – (in other words, identifying how much “meat is left on the bone”).
The Grand Slam team expertly leverages negotiation strategies to maximize offers. We know when to exercise patience and when to pounce, ensuring you never miss an opportunity to strengthen your outcome.
When you receive the purchase offer that is a true Grand Slam – the GPS team will guide you through the review process with your legal and tax advisors – or connect you with trusted professionals if needed. This ensures your interests are fully protected before you sign.
