Advizo Capital · Exit advisory

Most owners discover their business isn't sellable in the room where they're trying to sell it.

Advizo Capital prepares owner-led businesses for sale, then runs the process through to close. We prepare first. By the time a buyer is in the room, the answers already exist.

Request a confidential conversation → No obligation. Nothing leaves the room without your written instruction.

The problem

What a buyer finds

Businesses rarely fail to sell on price. They fail on what diligence turns up in week six — and by then the leverage has already moved to the other side of the table.

The business is the ownerKey relationships, pricing decisions and supplier terms live in your head. A buyer reads that as an asset that walks out on completion day.
The numbers don't reconcileManagement accounts, tax filings and bank statements tell three versions of the same year. Every gap becomes a discount.
Revenue sits on too few namesTwo clients at forty percent of turnover. Defensible in operation, expensive in valuation.
No layer beneath youNo second line means the buyer is purchasing a job, not a company — and will price it that way.
Contracts, licences and IP are informalVerbal supplier terms, unassigned trademarks, leases in a personal name. Each one is a condition precedent that delays close.
Nothing is assembledNo data room, no historical pack, no answer to the twelve questions every buyer asks. Delay reads as concealment.

Engagement

How we work

Two phases, priced separately. You can stop after the first — many owners do, and hold a stronger business for it.

Phase one

Exit readiness

Sixty to ninety days inside the business, fixing what diligence would otherwise find. We visit the site. We look at the operation the way an operator does, not the way a spreadsheet does.

Diligence gap assessment against buyer checklists
Financial clean-up and normalised earnings
Owner-dependency reduction plan
Contract, licence and IP tidy-up
Data room built and populated
Blind teaser and information memorandum
Indicative valuation range with the evidence behind it

Fixed retainer. Credited against the success fee if you proceed.

Phase two

Transaction

We take the business to qualified capital and stay in the room until it closes. You are never introduced and left alone.

Buyer and investor identification, screened against your terms
Staged, permission-based disclosure
Meetings arranged, attended and followed up
Indicative offers negotiated to LOI
Diligence managed so it doesn't consume your week
Coordination with your legal and tax counsel to completion

An onboarding fee to begin the mandate, then a success fee on completion. Both agreed in writing before we start.

Why us

We don't consult. We operate.

Most people who bring you a buyer have never run a business. We have built and run operations across healthcare, food and beverage, education, retail and technology — which is why our readiness work changes the number rather than describing it.

It is also why we say no. If a business isn't ready, we will tell you in the first conversation rather than take it to market and let a buyer tell you eight months later.

Fit

Who we work with

A fit

Owner-led businesses with annual revenue above $1M (₹8 Cr and up)
Trading profitably, past product-market fit
India, the GCC or the United States
Owners planning an exit in the next twelve to thirty-six months
Willing to have the business examined honestly before it goes to market

Not a fit

Distressed sales requiring a close in under ninety days
Businesses that cannot produce three years of financials
Owners testing the market with no intention to transact
Pre-revenue or concept-stage ventures
Anyone seeking an introduction only, with no preparation

Discretion

Confidentiality

The risk that keeps owners from starting is not the fee. It is staff, suppliers, competitors or clients hearing the business is for sale before there is anything to tell them.

Everything moves in stages. The market first sees a blind profile with no name, no location and no identifying detail. Buyers sign a non-disclosure agreement before anything further. You approve every name on the list before it is approached, and each further layer of disclosure is released on your written instruction, not ours.

Our own engagement is covered by mutual non-disclosure from the first meeting, whether or not we go on to work together.

Get started

Start with a conversation, not a mandate.

Ninety minutes, under non-disclosure, no cost. You will leave knowing what your business looks like to a buyer today — useful whether or not you sell, and whether or not you work with us.
