Edward Spooner

In my early career, I founded and scaled a medical billing company that evolved into a physician practice management firm. After exiting that business, I became a licensed business broker and transitioned into mergers and acquisitions, representing founders and owners through complex sale processes. Since then, I’ve advised on and closed over 150 transactions across a wide range of industries, giving me firsthand insight into how buyers think, how deals break, and what ultimately drives successful outcomes. I believe every exit starts with a benchmark. Whether you’re planning to sell now, in six months, or several years out, the most successful exits begin with clear strategy, realistic valuation expectations, and alignment on goals. My advisory work includes: - Accurate, deal-tested business valuations grounded in real transaction data, not theory - Exit strategy planning with financial and tax considerations - Identification of key value drivers and buyer objections before going to market - Pre-sale cleanup recommendations designed to maximize valuation - Full or partial sale advisory, including equity rollovers and seller participation - Strategic buyer and investor introductions, including domestic and international groups - Negotiation and closing support for complex M&A transactions Every engagement is confidential. Every strategy is intentional. I work hands-on with each client from initial positioning through due diligence and closing. No two businesses are the same, and understanding what makes your business unique is what allows me to structure and execute an exit that delivers the best possible outcome.
