Sell-side proposal

Request a proposal

We will build you a written sell-side proposal: the acquirers we would approach by name, the recorded transactions in your category, what that category actually pays, and the terms on which we would act. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

No cost, and no obligation. We come back within five working days. Nothing is charged, and nothing is disclosed to any third party.

Who you are

Most of what we can say without speaking to you, we read from here. It is the single most useful field on the form.

Your business

In our own archive the software-versus-services split moves the multiple further than the revenue total does: recorded services deals sit near the bottom of the range and software near the top. It is the field that most changes what the valuation section can say.

Whatever you tell us about revenue and earnings is used to price your company rather than your category. Leave it blank and we will still send the proposal, but the valuation section will describe the category instead of you.

Confidential from first contact. We do not name you to anybody without your say-so, this is not a listing, and nothing here puts you on a mailing list. If the honest answer is that you should not transact yet, the proposal will say so.
