Evertide Capital

For business owners

A private first conversation, structured around your objectives.

Start with nonconfidential information. Agree confidentiality terms before sharing sensitive materials.

Discuss your business

No detailed financials or obligation. Please share only nonconfidential information at this stage.

See our privacy notice.

Selling a business you have built is a significant decision. We keep the process private, move at a pace that respects your team and customers, and shape the transaction around value, timing and your continued involvement.

  • NDA before anything confidential. The first conversation needs no financial details.
  • Management continuity matters. We seek a team able and willing to continue, subject to diligence and agreed retention arrangements.
  • Flexible structures. Cash at closing, seller note, earn-out or rollover equity.

Situations

Retirement

Step back on your own timeline, with the business, its people and its customers in steady hands.

Succession

Continuity of ownership where no family member or internal buyer is ready to take over.

Founder transition

Hand day-to-day leadership to the management team you have developed.

Partial liquidity

Realize value now while retaining a stake in the business's future.

Partner buyout

A clean exit for one or more owners while the business carries on.

Early discussion

An exploratory conversation, with no obligation, to understand your options.

Structure

Because capital is arranged deal by deal, the structure can reflect your goals.

Cash at closing

The core of most transactions, financed with senior debt and outside equity.

Seller note

Deferred consideration paid over time, which can bridge differences in valuation.

Earn-out

Additional consideration tied to clear, measurable performance after closing.

Rollover equity

Retain an ownership stake alongside us in the next stage of the business.

Transition role

Remain as an adviser or board member for as long, or as briefly, as suits you.

Process

We do not ask for sensitive information until there is a clear reason to. You can pause at any stage.

  1. Introductory conversation

    A private call about your goals and the business at a high level. Nothing confidential is required.

  2. Fit check

    We confirm headline criteria: actual annual net income, business model, geography and management continuity.

  3. Non-disclosure agreement

    If we agree to proceed, confidentiality terms are reviewed and signed before confidential materials are shared.

  4. Review and management meetings

    We review financials and operations and meet the team that will lead the business forward.

  5. Indication of interest and LOI

    A written proposal on value, structure, financing and timeline, followed by a letter of intent.

  6. Confirmatory diligence and financing

    Focused diligence while senior debt, seller participation and equity are finalized.

  7. Closing and transition

    A handover planned with you and the team, with continuity for customers and employees.
