Selling your restoration business is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make. The difference between an average deal and a premium exit doesn’t come from luck, it comes from having the right team in your corner.


A successful exit requires more than finding a buyer. It’s about truly understanding your business, packaging your business to highlight its strengths, positioning it for maximum interest, anticipating where buyers will push back, and running a competitive process that keeps leverage on your side. That’s exactly what we deliver at Restoration Business Advisors.


Preparation Creates Value

Before going to market, we take the time to package your business the best way possible. That means:

  • Clean, defensible financials - uncovering true EBITDA and ensuring the numbers hold up under diligence.

  • A comprehensive deep dive - understanding what drives profitability, where the business excels, and how to frame that story for buyers.

  • A credible growth story - presenting not just history, but the path for future performance under new ownership.


No business is perfect, and buyers know that. What matters is being prepared: acknowledging weaker areas, framing them as opportunities to unlock value, and backing up every claim with data. This level of preparation builds credibility, answers tough questions before they’re asked, and ensures buyers focus on the value you’ve created.


Running a Competitive Process

The heart of sell-side advisory is creating a competitive environment where buyers are motivated to put their strongest offers forward. We design and execute sell-side processes on a daily basis and we deliver results for a clients.


We control the process, set the pace, and keep momentum on your side of the table. Buyers are shown that your business is a valuable asset, that others want it too, and that the only way to be competitive is to step up with their best price and terms.

This dynamic is what drives premium outcomes. Our objective on every process is to bring multiple LOIs and exceed value expectations.


Restoration Expertise Matters

Most sophisticated buyers bring teams of industry experts to the table. They know exactly where to look to put pressure on your valuation. If you don’t have the same level of sophistication defending your business, you’re negotiating at a disadvantage.


That’s where specialization matters. At Restoration Business Advisors, we focus exclusively on restoration businesses. We know how buyers think, what they value, and how to present your business in a way that highlights its strengths and justifies its premium.

In short, we level the playing field and tilt it back in your favor.


More Than a Transaction

The right sell-side process is more than just selling your business. It maximizes the wealth you take home, protects the legacy you’ve built, and sets the stage for a successful transition.


At Restoration Business Advisors, we treat every transaction like we’re protecting our own legacy and family’s future, because in many ways, we are. Our mission is entirely driven by achieving a successful outcome for you. Exceeding expectations our expectation.
