The buyer usually has more experience.
Professional buyers acquire companies regularly and bring lenders, attorneys, and research with them. The owner across from them is usually selling for the first time.
How private businesses sell today
Most owners either list the business publicly or negotiate with the one buyer who approached them.
Employees, customers, and competitors may learn the company is for sale.
The buyer knows there are no competing offers, and the terms reflect that.
Several qualified buyers make offers privately. One advisor manages the sale to closing.
Seller representation through closing
You keep the decisions, the information, and the final choice of buyer.
We do not buy represented businesses or take a buyer-side fee on them.
We research, approach, and qualify buyers privately instead of waiting for an inbound offer.
You decide who can know, what they see, and when access expands. Every access is recorded.
We reconcile the numbers before buyers and lenders ask.
We compare what each offer pays, coordinate diligence and financing, and challenge late price cuts.
A 5% success fee on a full sale, with the $5,000 engagement commitment credited if the business sells.
What Heirloom is building
A sale where the owner, buyers, lenders, and advisors work from the same approved facts, with controlled access and nothing explained twice.
Approved figures stay consistent from preparation through closing.
Buyers verify identity, criteria, and capacity once through Buyer Passport.
Price, cash at closing, financing, and closing risk in one view.
Diligence, financing, and legal work run from one record with access rules.
Millions in enterprise value already transacted.
Heirloom has closed sales for owners like you. Our founder, Suyash Agrawal, bought and ran small businesses himself before starting the firm, and engineers and transaction specialists back every engagement. Your sale is prepared the way a buyer will test it, by people who have been the buyer.
Firm transactions and Suyash’s earlier buy-side record are separate.
