YOUR DEAL TEAM

You only sell once. We have sold over $250M.

Breakwater has advised on hundreds of millions of dollars worth of deals. Time at the table has taught us how to maximize price, run a successful process, and ensure you sell for maximum value with minimum stress.

A NOTE TO OWNERS

Our mission: charting stress-free exits for hardworking entrepreneurs.

Most owners sell one business in their lifetime. The stakes are too high to learn the process the hard way (the deal you signed left millions on the table or the buyer ruins the brand).

We tell you what your business is worth before you hire us (for free). Our process is built for complete confidentiality from the moment you inquire all the way to funds transferring at closing.

MORGAN TATE · CEO

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Win-win fee arrangements

Our fees are built so we win when you win. That is why we only take on owners we are confident we can get a great result for.

Complete confidentiality

We manage the process so your staff, suppliers, and clients have no idea of the sale until the press release.

Respect for your life’s work

Missed weekends. Personal guarantees. Years of putting the business first. We respect the sacrifices you’ve made by putting the same level of effort into selling your business.
