What owners ask us first.

What does it cost to sell my business with Vanla?

Nothing upfront and no retainer. We are paid a success fee at closing. If your business does not sell, you owe us nothing.

Will my employees, customers or competitors find out?

Buyers see the business without its name. A buyer learns your company name only after signing an NDA, and we agree with you up front where the business is shown.

Is my business big enough?

We represent owners whose businesses do $1M+ in revenue, across home services, manufacturing, healthcare, business and professional services, industrial, distribution and software. If yours is not on that list, ask.

How long does it take to sell a business?

Most clients receive a letter of intent within 60 days of going to market. Most transactions close in 6 to 9 months.

What happens on the first call?

A confidential conversation with Paul Cheetham, our founder, about your business, your timing and what buyers would pay for it. No pitch and no obligation.

Are you a business broker or an M&A advisor?

Both. Vanla Group is a business brokerage and M&A advisory firm. We handle the whole engagement ourselves: valuation, buyer outreach, negotiation and close.

Ready when you are. Let's talk.

Four short answers, then a confidential call with an advisor. Nothing is owed unless your business sells.
