Mariner draws on a proprietary database of 8,400 private equity groups and 410,000 strategic companies worldwide. We combine those resources with targeted marketing, including a custom video highlighting your business, to reach qualified buyers while maintaining confidentiality.

Our process includes an in-depth review of your company’s financials, market position, growth potential and intangible assets. By applying established valuation methodologies, we deliver a detailed assessment of your company’s financial position that goes beyond the basic approaches often used by business brokers.

Business brokers usually focus on smaller “Main Street” companies, such as single-location shops or restaurants with earnings under $1 million. Mariner, on the other hand, specializes in mid-sized and more complex transactions. We combine financial expertise, industry knowledge and an extensive buyer network to help our clients pursue value and structure deals effectively.

Common exit strategies include a sale to a strategic or financial buyer, a merger, succession planning through family or employees, or a management buyout. An M&A advisor assesses the advantages and risks of each and helps you evaluate how well they align with your objectives.

Closing a transaction is an important milestone, but it's only part of the journey. We extend our support beyond the sale-through our affiliates, we help business owners address immediate needs such as structuring proceeds, planning for taxes and managing liquidity. From there, our advisors can work with you to create a plan for your future, integrating estate, retirement and wealth strategies.

Whether your goals include reinvestment, wealth transfer or simply creating stability for the years ahead, Mariner provides the advisory resources to support you well beyond the sale.
