Business Transition Strategies helps business owners across New England turn years of hard work into a strong exit.

We work with companies generating $2 million to $10 million in revenue, from small businesses to the lower middle market. It’s a range that often gets overlooked, too big for a business broker to handle well, too small to get real attention from a firm built for larger deals. We built our process around this size company specifically, not as a smaller version of something else.

Selling is the most common reason owners come to us, often to retire or move on to something new. We help owners understand what their business is worth, prepare it for the market, and get through a transaction with a plan they trust.

Privately owned businesses are the backbone of the economy and the source of most job creation. Helping owners transition them well, to the next buyer, the next generation, or the next chapter, is the work we care about.

Thinking of Selling? Not sure where to begin?

If a sale or transition is a year or more away, that’s actually a good time to start. Through Exit Advantage℠, we help owners build value well before a transaction is on the table, strengthening the business in ways that pay off later, whether that means a stronger sale down the road or growing into a larger opportunity altogether.

Only a small share of privately held businesses successfully transition, to a buyer, a partner, or the next generation. The ones that do are almost always the ones that started preparing early.
