Most owners sell a business only once. Our process is straightforward, transparent, and paced to match the needs of the seller.
- Introductory conversation. An initial, confidential discussion about your business, goals, and timing.
- High-level review. We look at basic financials and operations to assess fit on both sides.
- Letter of intent & diligence. We agree on structure and pricing, then complete focused due diligence.
- Closing & transition. We complete the transaction and work with you on a measured handover of responsibilities.
Selling a business is as much about what happens after closing as it is about price. We focus on continuity, care for your team, and preserving the strengths you’ve built over time.
- Continuity for staff and customers — we keep the business recognizable to the people who rely on it.
- Fair, straightforward terms — we prefer clear structures and plain language over complexity.
- Long-term ownership — we operate businesses ourselves and are not focused on quick resale.
We partner with owners to create smooth, respectful transitions. We preserve legacy, take care of teams, and maintain the reputation sellers built. Andesite focuses on operational stability, long-term stewardship, and disciplined financial management—not short-term flipping.
- Continuity for staff and customers
- Straightforward, fair transactions
- Long-term ownership, not quick resale
