You didn't build this to settle. When it's time to sell, you deserve a process that's as serious as the business you built, confidential, structured, and led by someone who's sat on both sides of the table.

We analyze 3 years of financials, normalize EBITDA, and give you a frank market range: not what you want to hear, what buyers will actually pay.
We quietly identify and approach the right buyers from our proprietary network. Every buyer signs an NDA before learning your company name.
We generate multiple qualified offers. When buyers compete, you negotiate from strength. Most clients receive an LOI within 60 days.
We manage the entire close: structure, due diligence, legal coordination. We only get paid when you get paid.
What Every Engagement Includes
When you work with Vanla, this is what you get. Not some of it. All of it.
Four fears that keep business owners from exploring an exit. Here is how we address each one.
"Word will get out before the deal is done."
NDAs are signed before any buyer learns your company name. No public listing, no industry gossip. Your employees, customers, and competitors will not know until you choose.
"I'll spend 2 years on this and end up with nothing."
Our average timeline is 6 to 9 months. Our fee is success-only, which means we are only paid when you close. Our incentives are identical to yours.
"I don't know what my business is actually worth."
Free, frank, confidential valuation based on current buyer demand. Not an estimate: a real market read based on what qualified buyers are paying right now.
"I've seen people get burned by brokers who overpromise."
Paul personally handles every engagement. No junior staff. No volume model. We take fewer engagements and close more of them.
Recession-resistant, owner-operated businesses with $2M to $20M in annual revenue. Current EBITDA multiple ranges reflect actual buyer appetite.
Confidential valuation. No obligation. No pressure. Just a straight conversation with someone who has closed $182M+ in transactions and knows exactly what qualified buyers are paying right now.
