About the Company
Protecting Business Owners. Maximizing Enterprise Value.
Aegis Investment Group is a national mergers & acquisitions advisory firm representing privately held businesses valued from approximately $2 million to over $50 million.
Our clients have spent decades building exceptional companies. Our responsibility is to protect what they've built by creating a competitive acquisition process, negotiating from a position of strength, and guiding transactions from valuation through closing.
Since 2017, our team has successfully completed 67 business sales totaling more than $93 million, while consistently achieving an average sale price exceeding 95% of asking price.
Institutional buyers, private equity groups, family offices, strategic acquirers, and sophisticated individual buyers negotiate acquisitions every day.
Most business owners sell only once.
That experience gap can be extraordinarily expensive.
Our role is to level the playing field.
Broker Biography
Introduction
Every Business Has a Story.
Every Transaction Has Risk.
Selling a business involves far more than agreeing on a purchase price.
Sophisticated buyers often seek to improve their economics through purchase price adjustments, seller financing, working capital provisions, indemnification language, escrow holdbacks, earn-outs, and post-closing obligations.
Many business owners unknowingly concede significant value after accepting what appeared to be an attractive offer.
Our responsibility is to identify those risks before they become expensive mistakes.
We negotiate every stage of the transaction with one objective:
Protect the Seller while maximizing enterprise value.
From the initial valuation through the Asset Purchase Agreement and closing, we advocate exclusively for our clients.
Our principals bring more than Thirty-Eight years of combined experience in mergers & acquisitions, valuation, financing, negotiations, and transaction management across numerous industries.
Services Provided
Selling a Business is More Than Finding a Buyer.
The highest offer is not always the best offer.
The best transaction is the one that closes while protecting the Seller's financial interests, tax position, legal exposure, employees, and legacy.
We begin every engagement by understanding the business, its value drivers, and the market of likely buyers.
From there we develop a confidential marketing strategy designed to create competition while maintaining strict confidentiality throughout the process.
Our responsibilities include:
• Business Valuations
• Exit Planning
• Buyer Identification
• Confidential Marketing
• Institutional Buyer Management
• Private Equity Negotiations
• Letter of Intent Strategy
• Purchase Agreement Negotiation Support
• SBA & Conventional Financing Coordination
• Due Diligence Management
• Closing Coordination
We manage the transaction so owners can continue managing their business.
Financing Can Determine Whether a Deal Closes.
We've developed relationships with experienced SBA and conventional lenders that specialize in business acquisitions.
These lenders understand acquisition financing and work efficiently with qualified buyers.
Because financing is integrated into our transaction process, buyers using our preferred lenders frequently receive lending commitments within approximately three weeks after submitting a complete loan package.
More importantly, experienced lenders identify financing issues early—reducing surprises later in the transaction.
Strong financing partners help transactions close.
