Your goals are our goals.
Eminence M&A Strategies was founded with a laser-focused vision to help owners successfully exit their businesses.
We do:
Deep discovery to determine YOUR vision of success.
Prioritize your schedule.
Simple, easy-to-understand, below-market fee structures.
A limited set of engagements where we are confident we can be successful and can give you best-in-class service.
Overcommunicate on the status of your transaction.
Have a deep network of advisors, analysts, valuation experts, and other professionals we leverage as needed.
Operate with the utmost confidentiality & discretion.
We Do Not:
Rush a transaction to meet our sales or revenue goals.
Create unnecessary stress with arbitrary timelines.
Use complicated success fee structures.
Engage large numbers of clients, limiting the time we have to support YOUR transaction.
Leave you in the dark, unsure of the status or next steps.
Have a bloated infrastructure and overhead, keeping your fees low and our services nimble.
Risk your business with poor confidentiality practices.

“If you’re serious about finding a buyer, meet Sarah”
We’ve worked with a few other brokers and found them mostly to be terrible.
We can’t speak highly enough about Sarah.
