Questions We Get Every Time

Honest answers before you decide whether to reach out.

Ready to acquire. Josh is an individual acquirer based in the Pacific Northwest with capital allocated and a clear acquisition thesis focused on executive search and recruitment businesses. Vanla has vetted him directly. He is not a first-timer and has the financial backing to close.
Josh has a background operating in talent and professional services and understands the business model deeply. He wants to acquire a firm he can grow, not just hold. That means he is looking for a founder who has built something real and wants a buyer who will continue to develop it.
A Vanla advisor reviews your submission and reaches out within 1 business day for a confidential call. We learn about your firm, answer your questions, and determine if there is a fit. If it looks right, we make a direct introduction to Josh. Nothing proceeds without your approval.
Nothing upfront. We are paid a success fee at close, as a percentage of the transaction value. No retainers, no listing fees, no hourly charges. We don't get paid until you do.
We never share your name, business name, or financials with any buyer without your explicit consent. Every buyer signs an NDA before receiving information about your firm. Your team, clients, and competitors will not know you are exploring a sale unless you choose to tell them.
Yes. The EBITDA range listed is a preference, not a hard requirement. If your firm has strong recurring revenue, a solid client base, and an experienced team, it may still be a compelling opportunity. Submit and let us review. Worst case we can match you with a different buyer mandate.
