Roughly seven out of ten businesses listed with a traditional broker never sell. Verity closes 86% of ours. Here's how.
Most brokers list a business, find a buyer, sign an LOI — and then spend 90 days watching the deal die at the bank's underwriting desk. We flip that sequence. Every Verity listing is underwritten by a lender before it ever hits the market. When the buyer arrives, the capital is already lined up.
We build every valuation on defensible cash flow, comparable transactions, and — critically — on what lenders will actually finance. We refuse to buy listings with inflated prices. If we take on your business, it's because we believe we can sell it.
This is the single reason our success rate is nearly three times the industry average. Before your business goes to market, we walk it through SBA and conventional lenders and secure a pre-approval on the financing structure. When a qualified buyer signs an LOI, the money is already waiting.
Your employees, customers, and competitors will never learn your business is for sale from us. We market through a curated network of vetted buyers under strict NDA — never on the open web, never on public listing sites.
Every prospective buyer is qualified on liquidity, experience, and intent before they see a single financial statement. You meet operators and investors who can actually close — not tire-kickers.
We negotiate LOIs and purchase agreements alongside your attorney and CPA, structuring earn-outs, seller notes, and working capital adjustments to protect the value you built.
With financing already in place, due diligence is a verification exercise — not a renegotiation. Most Verity deals close within 90 to 120 days of accepted LOI.
