The firm

Sell-side M&A for technology companies doing $5M to $50M in revenue

We represent founders on the sale of their company, and we advise acquirers on what to buy. Both sides of the same market, which is the only reason we can tell an owner what a buyer will actually pay rather than what they would like to hear.

For owners

A represented sale

We prepare the memorandum, map and approach the acquirer universe, and run a timetabled process so offers arrive together rather than one at a time. Four to eight months, and the fee is paid at closing.

For acquirers

Proprietary deal flow

Tell us the mandate once and we bring what fits it. Every acquirer is graded before they reach a listing, so the owners you meet are meeting somebody who can transact.

Buy-side advisory →

Either side

A three-week Sprint

Not ready for a mandate. A fixed fee, fixed scope introduction to the right counterparties: we do the positioning and the selection, you run the conversations. Credited in full if it becomes an engagement.

The infrastructure

We built the database we sell out of

Six properties sit behind one advisory practice: the buyer database, the transaction archive, the valuation benchmarks and the origination engine. Every acquirer we approach comes out of a set we own and verify ourselves, rather than a subscription we rent. It is why a firm of eight to twelve people can run a process this wide, and why the buyer list in your proposal has reasons attached to each name.

The team

You will know who is running your process

Eight people, named, with their own transaction history and their own LinkedIn profiles. A senior advisor leads every engagement from the first call, not after you sign.

Clients who put their name to it

Two founders, on the record

Anonymous testimonials are worth very little in this market. These two are named, their companies are named, and both describe the parts that went badly as well as the parts that did not.

“FIH were the one broker who understood our niche business, and they were with us from start to finish.”

Stéphane Senkowski CEO, Mondeca · Paris Closed at 3x ARR. Cash, guaranteed payments and equity.

“The first diligence process fell through, which was stressful. They kept going and found the second buyer.”

Matt Williams Founder, Tasmania.com · Los Angeles Closed at 3.75x revenue, 100% cash, eight months from signing.

Fees

Published, tiered, and paid at closing

A full engagement carries no retainer. The fee is tiered and applies to each portion of the deal value, so the rate falls as the outcome improves. Most firms at this size will not put this on a public page.

Up to $4M7.0%
$4M to $10M5.0%
$10M to $50M3.0%
$50M to $100M1.7%
$100M to $250M1.5%
$250M+1.3%

Subject to a minimum advisory fee of $50,000. The three-week Market Sprint is a separate fixed-fee product and is credited against this schedule if it becomes an engagement.
