Process

Typically 4–8 weeks from LOI to close — can move at the seller’s pace and align directly with their timeline.

Plan to operate and grow the company for many years with a focus on stability and legacy preservation.

Flexible and creative. Can include seller financing, earnouts, or gradual transitions to meet the seller’s goals.

Lead the company directly and take an active role in day-to-day operations.

Focused on sustainable growth and maintaining what already works. Protect the company’s identity, culture, and reputation.

Deals can take 6–12 months or longer due to layers of approval, multiple committees, and legal reviews.

Short term horizon. Most funds plan to sell or recapitalize within 3 to 7 years which can lead to changes in leadership or priorities.

Locked into long-term incentive structure

Install outside management or rely on existing executives with limited direct involvement.

Aim for rapid expansion or financial restructuring to increase returns within a short window.

Often even longer, especially with internal approvals and integrations.

Focused on consolidation or rebranding rather than maintaining the company’s independence.

Structured for corporate integration rather than seller preferences and often complex agreements favoring the acquirer.

Integrate the company into a larger organization, leading to cultural shifts and reduced headcount.

Merge operations, rebrand, or repurpose the company to fit corporate goals.
