Full representation, from decision to closing.
At this crucial point, we help you weigh every possible exit strategy so you can make an informed decision about how to take your business to market. From there, we bring a comprehensive, holistic approach, working alongside you, your family, and your professional team of CPAs, attorneys, and financial planners, through to a completed transaction.
Full representation, on your terms
A holistic, team-based approach
We work with you, your family, and your existing professionals, coordinating directly with your CPA, attorney, and financial planner throughout the process.
Direct representation
Blue Sky represents you in the transaction itself, whatever form it takes, so you are never negotiating alone.
An extensive buyer network
We market your business through our own database of private equity firms, family offices, and private investors, plus confidential outreach to strategic buyers.
We represent you no matter which direction you choose
Our Advisory Services cover the full deal process
For Central Florida owners getting ready to sell
Blue Sky is based in the Orlando area and represents owners of privately held, often family-owned companies across Central Florida and the I-4 corridor, as well as owners elsewhere in the country. Most of the owners we work with have spent decades building their business and will only sell once. So we start with your goals — timing, price, what happens to your people, and your role after closing — before we ever talk about buyers.
You plan to sell in the next few years
We help you understand what the business is worth today, what buyers will discount, and what to fix before you go to market.
You received an unsolicited offer
We help you judge whether the offer is fair, what the terms really mean, and whether running a proper process would get you more.
You are weighing your options
Family succession, a management buyout, outside investment or a full sale. We lay out the trade-offs so you can choose with confidence.
From first conversation to closing
Prepare
We establish a realistic value range, tighten up your financials, flag anything that could reduce the price, and build the one-page teaser and Confidential Investor Memorandum.
Go to market
We reach out confidentially to private equity firms, family offices, private investors and strategic buyers, collect NDAs, and manage buyer conversations so you can keep running the business.
Negotiate
We compare offers on more than the headline price: cash at close, earnouts, seller notes, your role after the sale and what happens to your team. Then we negotiate the letter of intent.
Close
We run the data room and due diligence and work alongside your CPA and attorney through the purchase agreement, all the way to a completed transaction.
What owners ask us before selling
How long does it take to sell a business?
It depends on the company and the market. Preparation often takes a few months, and marketing through closing takes longer still. We give you a realistic timeline for your business in the first conversation.
Will my employees and customers find out?
Confidentiality runs through the whole process. Buyers first see a blind teaser and sign an NDA before they learn your company’s name or see any financials.
What does it cost to work with you?
The first consultation is free. We explain how our fees work for your situation before you commit to anything.
Do I need a valuation first?
It helps to know where you stand. Start with the free Business Value Scorecard, then we can talk through a formal valuation on your consultation call.
Let’s map out the right path for your business.
Schedule a free consultation and we will talk through your options, whether that’s an internal transition, outside investment, or a sale, and what representation through that process looks like.
