Exit Planning & Value Growth
The best exits are planned months to years before they happen. We help you identify the gaps that impact valuation, reduce buyer risk, and build toward a stronger outcome — so when the time comes, you're selling from a position of strength.

Valuation Services
We actively close deals in the lower-middle market, so our valuations reflect real buyer demand, not just formulas. That's the difference between knowing what your business is worth and knowing what someone will actually pay for it.

Your Life's Work Deserves the Right Outcome.
At Commonwealth M&A, we work with you at one of the most important moments of your life - selling the company you built. Your business represents decades of hard work, a family legacy, employees who showed up every day, and a reputation earned one customer at a time.
We started Commonwealth M&A with a simple belief: the sale of your business deserves the same quality of advice, process, and dedication that the biggest companies in the world receive. You built something real. The team you hire to sell it should reflect that. We are that team.
We also serve as a trusted M&A partner for CPAs, attorneys, wealth advisors, lenders, and financial planners - the advisors who want to refer their clients somewhere they'll be taken care of, and where the advisor's own reputation will be protected.
Industries We Know Inside and Out
Deep Expertise in the Businesses That Keep America Running.
We understand how these businesses operate, where the pain points are, and what buyers look for when they're deciding what to pay. We have the relationships with the most active buyers in each of these sectors, which means when we go to market for you, we're not starting from scratch. That combination of industry knowledge and buyer access doesn't just improve your outcome, it makes the entire process faster, smoother, and more efficient from day one.

Strategic Preparation
We start by deeply understanding your business, financials, goals, and ideal exit outcome. This foundation shapes everything that follows and ensures we go to market at the right time, with the right story.
Valuation & Positioning
We assess the true market value of your business. Then we do a deep analysis of your key value drivers — identifying what makes your business attractive to the best buyers and building the narrative that makes them compete for it.
Confidential Buyer Outreach
We identify, qualify, and discreetly approach a curated list of strategic acquirers, private equity-backed platforms, and industry consolidators — while keeping your identity fully protected.
Negotiation & LOI
We create competitive tension among buyers to drive the strongest price and terms — then negotiate the Letter of Intent to protect both your economics and your legacy.
Due Diligence
We manage the due diligence process end to end — anticipating issues before they arise, reducing friction, and keeping the transaction on track toward close.
Closing & Transition
We guide you through every detail of the closing — so the most important transaction of your life ends exactly the way it should, with a smooth transition to new ownership.
Recent Transactions
Deals That Changed Lives.
Every transaction we close represents years of hard work, a family's legacy, and a future worth protecting. Here is a selection of businesses we've been honored to represent.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions.
Answers to the Questions We Hear Most.
When should I start planning to sell my business?
The honest answer is: it's never too early. Owners who plan ahead, ideally one to five years before their desired exit, consistently achieve stronger valuations, more buyer interest, and smoother processes. But if you're closer to that window than you'd like to be, don't let that stop you from reaching out. We've successfully worked with owners at every stage, including those with urgent timelines. The best time to start the conversation is whenever you're ready to have it.
What size businesses do you typically work with?
We work with lower-middle market businesses generating between $5M and $100M in annual revenue. If you're not sure whether your business falls within that range or whether we'd be a good fit, the easiest thing to do is get on a call and we'll tell you honestly within the first few minutes.
Do you work with buyers?
No. We are exclusively sell-side advisors. This keeps our incentives fully aligned with you, the seller, and eliminates any possibility of a conflict of interest.
Will my employees or customers find out my business is for sale?
Confidentiality is a core part of everything we do. We execute non-disclosure agreements with all potential buyers and handle every outreach and communication with strict discretion to protect your team, your customers, and your operations.
I'm not ready to sell yet. Should we still talk?
Absolutely - and we'd encourage it. The earlier we connect, the more we can do to strengthen your position before going to market. Many of our clients first engaged with us 2 to 3 years before their sale date.
What industries do you work in?
We work with business owners across all industries. Our deepest expertise is concentrated in these sectors where we've built the strongest buyer relationships and closed the most transactions: Home Services, Healthcare, Industrial & Infrastructure, Environmental Services and Transportation & Infrastructure. However, if your business falls outside those areas, don't let that stop you from reaching out.
