    Certainty of closing

    From LOI to close, not just to signature.

    • A signed LOI is not a closed deal. We prioritize buyers with real ability to close from the start
    • Risks surface before the LOI, not three months later in diligence

    Process

    From the first conversation to the sale.

    Every step is transparent. You always know where you stand, what happens next, and why.

    Step 01

    Getting to know you and your goals

    What you actually want.

    We sit down before anything happens. What do you really want: the highest price, the right successor for your team, a fast exit, an earn-out, or a clean break? Everything else follows from that. You talk. We listen and frame it.

    You talk. We listen and frame it.

    Step 02

    Due-diligence simulation

    We examine your business like a buyer.

    We run the same checklists and the same depth a serious buyer will. You see the critical points before a buyer finds them.

    Typical finding: 8 to 12 diligence-critical gaps.

    Step 03

    Value enhancement

    We fix what drags the value down.

    We work the levers a buyer discounts. What matters at the deal table, we deliver. What can only happen inside the business, we direct and your team executes.

    Output: clean numbers, a buyer-ready data room, an equity story.

    Step 04

    Exit readiness

    The sale-ready package.

    An anonymous teaser, a confidential information memorandum, a first target buyer list, and an updated valuation that reflects the potential we realized.

    By the end: your business is ready to go to market.

    Step 05

    The sale

    The highest price in competition.

    A seamless move into a competitive sale. Many bidders in parallel, negotiated on price, terms, and certainty of closing, through to payout.

    45 to 60 days from go to letter of intent.

    The difference

    The difference begins before the sale.

    A traditional broker sells the house as it stands and hopes for the best price. We go into the house first, analyze and repair what drags the value down, then sell for more. A business is no different. That is why every sale with us begins with three months of structured preparation.

    Traditional M&A advisor

    Sells the status quo

    • Sells the business as it stands today
    • Weaknesses surface only in the buyer's due diligence
    • Price cuts and broken deals are the result
    Our process

    Get in shape first, then sell in a competitive process

    • Three months of structured preparation, then a seamless sale
    • Diligence risks are fixed up front, before the buyer finds them
    • A structured competitive process for the highest price

    "Honestly, I was extremely skeptical at first. Ludwig said he would structure the process himself, without a second advisor. I remember it like it was yesterday. Six months later, we sold to FLYERALARM. And I say this without any exaggeration: I don't know anyone who could have done it this way. Of course it sounds like the thing you are supposed to say here, but I would not say it if I had not lived it exactly like that. Ludwig is not a classic investment banker pushing deals through. He is an entrepreneur himself, he holds stakes, and that is exactly what turns the whole model on its head."

    "At a certain revenue size, you start thinking about an exit. But there are worlds between thinking about it and doing it. Ecommerce is hard to pin down anyway: a profitable business, warehousing, inventory, employees, partners, and once you pass ten million in revenue it gets hard to find comparable companies and valuations. So many counterparties, and you want to make sure the quality stays the same. I am simply glad about how the process went and that I can now focus on new things."

    "We are a family business. Brand changes, complications, a lot of movement over the last few years. And when you are stuck in day-to-day operations, you simply do not have the time to really understand whether an offer is good, whether you should renegotiate, whether you could make it even better. Sometimes you do not even understand the variables. How long the process drags on, what risks are attached, what all of it means for me personally in the end. FISART made exactly those things visible. I will say it straight: if I ever sell a business again, there is no second place. There is no one else I would work with."

    "When you have a profitable SaaS with recurring revenue, growth, and a solid customer base, at some point you think: I can do this on my own too. What I learned in the process: there are huge differences in quality when selling a business. I was really surprised by the speed, by the days and nights that went into my due diligence, and by how cleanly it was organized. The DD ran through much faster than expected, and on terms that fit my personal goals. I am grateful for that."

    "Most of the advisors I spoke with said essentially the same thing: 'We will list you and see who bites.' FISART built something completely different. Within twelve weeks, five qualified buyers were at the table, all in parallel, all in a structured process with deadlines. It was not chaotic, it was not stressful. It was professional. The deal closed on schedule, and the terms came in above the best case we had modeled internally."

    We advise owners of businesses with roughly $1M to $100M in revenue. Below that band, a traditional broker is usually a better fit. Our process is built for the lower middle market, where a competitive sale meaningfully changes the outcome.

    A broker lists your business and waits for a buyer. An M&A advisor runs a structured, competitive process: preparing the business, approaching many vetted buyers in parallel, and negotiating on your behalf. For businesses of real value, competition among buyers is what drives price and terms.

    FISART works on a staged retainer for the three-month exit preparation, followed by a success fee on the sale, with the retainer credited against that success fee. You know the cost before you start, and most of what you pay is tied to a completed sale.

    Yes. Buyers are approached under NDA, and we control what information is shared and when. Your employees, customers, and competitors do not learn about a process before you decide they should.

    The three-month preparation comes first. From there, a prepared, competitive process typically reaches a letter of intent in about 45 to 60 days and closes within 4 to 6 months, depending on the business and the buyer.

    Yes. FISART is headquartered in the US, and our buyer network and AI-powered sourcing reach American strategic and financial acquirers. For international owners, that cross-border reach can be the difference between a local sale and a competitive one.

    A confidential consultation with a senior advisor. We talk through your business, your goals, and your timing, and give you a clear view of what a sale could look like. There is no obligation to proceed.
