Services Offered
Business owners and buyers work with this practice for both full-service brokerage and practical, hands-on consulting support throughout the entire transaction lifecycle.
**Business Brokerage**
- Confidentially prepare, package, and list small to mid-sized businesses for sale, with valuation guidance,
pricing strategy, and professional marketing materials that present the company clearly to qualified buyers.
- Manage buyer inquiries, qualification, and nondisclosure, then lead negotiations and deal structure
discussions to align expectations and protect confidentiality at every step.
- Coordinate due diligence and closing with lenders, attorneys, and CPAs, helping both sides navigate issues
that arise so deals stay on track to a successful close.
**Seller Consulting & Exit Planning**
- Help owners get “sale ready” by reviewing financials, operations, and value drivers, then recommending
and collaboratively implementing targeted improvements that can enhance marketability and potential
selling price.
- Advise on timing, positioning, and likely deal terms, including transition and training periods, so owners exit
on favorable terms with fewer surprises after closing.
**Strategy, Performance & Change Consulting**
- Provide strategic and operational consulting to clarify growth goals, strengthen systems and management,
and improve performance so the business becomes more scalable, transferable, and attractive to future
buyers.

planning, and process improvement, helping owners implement needed changes without disrupting day-to-
day operations.

About
Every business tells a story. But for too many founders, the most important chapter…the exit…becomes tangled in fear, uncertainty, and unanswered questions:
“Will I get the value I deserve?”
“Will my legacy endure?”
“How do I navigate this maze without sacrificing everything I built?”
David Hermann, with more than 20 years of management consulting experience and more than $500 million in documented value for clients over his career, has spent decades helping leaders see around corners, connect disparate ideas, and turn complexity into clarity. From working with leadership teams to driving high-stakes outcomes, he knows what it takes to create momentum…and how to harvest the value of a lifetime of hard work.
This is the same rigor, insight, and precision David now brings to business exits for Main Street and Middle Market owners who want more than a transaction. They want:
• A strategic exit
• A legacy that survives the handoff
• Maximum financial return with minimum stress
• An advisor who sees the human beneath the numbers
Using a listen-first philosophy and consultative leadership style, David helps sellers map the full landscape of value from tightening operations to packaging the story that buyers find compelling. He does not just list businesses; he helps architect exits that honor the sweat and soul poured into every deal.
Whether you’re contemplating retirement, transitioning to a new venture, or simply curious about your business’s worth, David turns what-if into when-and-how with confidence, connection, and results.
