Frequently Asked Questions
We believe in complete transparency to help illuminate what can be a complex process. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about selling your business with Inside Strategy.
How long does it take to sell my business?
For most lower middle-market companies ($500k–$10M EBITDA), our full auction process typically takes 7–9 months. This approach helps drive multiple competitive bids and ensures you get the best possible outcome.
Is the selling process confidential?
Absolutely. Every prospective buyer must register, sign an NDA, and go through our vetting process before they ever see the name or details of a business listed for sale.
How many companies do you sell each year?
Our team works collaboratively, often in groups of three, to deliver the best results for our clients. Each team member is typically involved in 4–6 successful closings per year.
How does Inside Strategy get paid?
We charge a modest retainer when you sign on, but our primary compensation is a success fee—a percentage of the final sale price. This fee varies based on business size, timeline, and the level of preparation and due diligence required.
