Sell-Side Advisory

Optionality is the key to any good deal – there is nothing worse than being forced to accept a deal because of lack of alternatives

We help you find buyers that are a good fit for your business, structure deal terms to your benefit, create options to choose from and make sure that the transaction you sign is in line with the deal terms you were offered.

Your Exit Journey, Expertly Navigated

Selling your business is a once-in-a-lifetime decision — and we treat it that way. At Compass Capital, we deliver discreet, senior-level advisory built on long-standing trust and proven judgment. We combine strategic expertise with AI-driven targeting to execute a process that’s structured, strategic, and stress-reducing. As your partner in the deal, we shoulder the transaction’s complexity — so you can focus on the key decisions that matter for your future.

Our Sell-Side Process

The Compass team helps entrepreneurs find the right partners to create value through M&A.

Whether you want to sell your company or find strategic investors, Compass supports you with a systematic and structured approach.

Strategy

We begin by aligning on your goals, approach, and the narrative that will position your company for maximum interest — clarifying what kind of outcome you seek and how we’ll get there.

Sourcing & Screening

Using a mix of thematic insights, AI-enhanced analytics and our broad network, we build a tailored list of potential acquirers, from strategic buyers to financial sponsors. We screen, filter, and prioritize — ensuring that outreach is both wide and focused.

Initial Evaluation

We engage in first meetings, facilitate NDA execution, and manage buyer education with care. You remain in control of messaging, while we qualify interest and gather business case feedback to guide next steps.

Negotiate Term Sheet

Once the right buyer emerges, we move into exclusive discussions. We negotiate key terms, align incentives, and ensure that the term sheet supports your priorities — not just valuation, but also structure, timing, and strategic fit.

Due Diligence

We coordinate the due diligence process, proactively manage data flows, and mitigate deal fatigue. From Q&A to stakeholder presentations, we shield you from distractions while preserving negotiating leverage.

Deal Negotiation to Closing

We work alongside legal and tax advisors to negotiate long-form agreements, structure the transaction, and ensure seamless signing and closing. Our senior team stays engaged through every detail to protect your interests.

Your Role, Our Partnership

Your involvement is focused where it creates the most value: setting strategic direction, sharing institutional knowledge, and shaping buyer conversations with authenticity. We manage the rest in close coordination with you — handling diligence, outreach, and negotiations with discretion and rigor.

We are a boutique firm and we care – you will be personally advised by our partners, senior M&A professionals with decades of experience. We understand the emotional and financial weight of this moment — and we bring the judgment, care, and clarity it demands.

Ready When You Are
If you’re considering a sale — whether now or in the coming years — let’s start the conversation. The earlier we engage, the more options we can preserve. At Compass Capital, your legacy is our compass.
