What does this cost?
Nothing upfront. We work exclusively on a success fee: we only get paid when you reach the closing table. If we don't close a deal, you owe us nothing.
How long does the process take?
Most transactions close in 6 to 9 months from our first conversation. Timeline depends on business complexity, buyer fit, and how quickly diligence moves.
How do you find the right buyer?
We start with our own network: strategic acquirers, private equity groups, and individual operators with the capital and intent to close. Where a deal benefits from wider reach we agree that with you first, and approach the market on terms you set. Either way, every buyer signs an NDA before they learn your company name.
What size businesses do you work with?
Owner-operated businesses with $1M+ in annual revenue. Most of our work is in home services, manufacturing, healthcare, business and professional services, industrial, distribution, and software. If yours is not on that list, ask. We have closed deals well outside it.
How do you determine business value?
We use multiple valuation methodologies including comparable transactions, discounted cash flow analysis, and market multiples. Our valuations are based on actual market conditions and recent transaction data in your industry. In the end, we determine what we believe a buyer will actually offer you for your business.
Are you a business broker or an M&A advisor?
Both. Vanla Group is a business brokerage and M&A advisory firm for owner-operated companies doing $1M+ in revenue. We handle the whole engagement ourselves: valuation, buyer outreach, negotiation, and close. You work with a senior advisor from the first call through the closing table, and we are paid a success fee at closing rather than a retainer.
