Mergers & Acquisitions | Sell-Side Advisory Services

When the time comes to sell your Green Industry company, preparation is everything. At EquiScape Business Advisors, we work alongside trade industry business owners to ensure they enter the market with confidence — backed by professionally prepared documentation that tells the full story of their business's value.

Whether you are entertaining interest from a Private Equity Group or fielding inquiries from strategic buyers, the quality and credibility of your presentation materials can make or break a transaction.

What We Prepare for Sellers

We develop comprehensive, professionally structured Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs) and buyer-ready packets tailored specifically for Green Industry and trade service companies. These packets are designed to communicate your business's financial strength, operational systems, client relationships, and growth potential to sophisticated buyers.

Each packet typically includes:

1. Executive Summary- A compelling overview of your business, its market position, and opportunity for a buyer
2. Financial Analysis & Normalized Earnings- Clean, properly stated financials including EBITDA recast, owner adjustments, and trend analysis
3. Operational Overview- Systems, staffing structure, equipment, software platforms, and scalability documentation
4. Customer & Contract Summary- Client mix, retention data, contract types, and revenue concentration analysis
5. Market & Growth Opportunity- Service area demographics, competitive positioning, and upside narrative
6. Transition & Continuity Plan- Owner role, key personnel, and post-sale transition considerations
7. In-House Valuation- Utilizing EquiStat Analytics, we can provide an EBIDTA valuation and identify business variables determining multiples range scenarios.
