Kerdai Business Advisors is the marketplace of the IC-USA group: the businesses our sell-side team is bringing to market, a short list of deals we find elsewhere that are worth a buyer's time, and the record of what has closed. Every listing shows the public teaser. The CIM, the financials and the data room follow a signed NDA and buyer qualification.
The same sequence on every listing, so a serious buyer knows what is asked of them before the first call. Most buyers who are ready move from inquiry to CIM within a few days.
Each listing below is currently on the market through the group's sell-side team and is public on BizBuySell. Open a listing for the full teaser, the figures and the inquiry form; the CIM, the financials and the data room follow a signed NDA and buyer qualification.
Bring your own advisor. Buyers are welcome to bring their own advisor, lender and attorney into the process, and we will work with them. Independent buyer-side deal reviews are available from Investment Consulting USA's Deal Structure Advisory, but never on a business the group is selling. Quality of Earnings reports and appraisals are available from Kerdai, likewise never on a business the group is selling. An opinion paid for by the seller's side is not independent, and we will say so before any work starts.
How to inquire. Use the inquiry form on the listing's page, the BizBuySell link or the contact form on this page. After a signed NDA and buyer qualification (a short biography, a personal financial statement with proof of funds, and a lender pre-qualification or funding letter) you receive the CIM, and a written non-binding indication of interest opens the data room and access to management. Please do not contact the business, its staff, landlord or suppliers directly.
The team reads hundreds of listings a year from other brokers and off-market sources. When one looks like a good business at a fair price, it is posted here with a short note on why, and with the listing broker's contact, because Kerdai does not represent either side on these.
Transactions represented by the group's sell-side team. Business type, state and the headline figures only; the companies and the parties stay confidential.
A local advisor had said $750K was the ceiling.
The same sequence on every listing on this marketplace. It protects the seller's confidentiality and gets a qualified buyer to the data room without wasted weeks.
Use the BizBuySell link or the contact form on this page and name the listing. You hear back from the sell-side team by email.
Sign the NDA and send a short bio, a personal financial statement with proof of funds, and a lender pre-qualification or funding letter.
You receive the confidential information memorandum and the financial summary, and send written questions. Answers come from the sell-side team, not from the business.
A written non-binding indication of interest opens the data room and access to management. A letter of intent follows once price and structure are agreed.
Your diligence, your lender's underwriting and the purchase agreement, through closing. On SBA 7(a) acquisitions of $3 million or more the SBA requires a lender-commissioned Quality of Earnings report.
Representation and the sell-side process live at Investment Consulting USA. Start with a free, confidential value estimate.
Use the "View on BizBuySell" link on the listing, or the contact form on this page with "Ask about a listing" selected and the listing named. The sell-side team replies by email with the NDA and the qualification request. Please do not contact the business, its staff, landlord or suppliers directly; every question goes through the sell-side team.
Three things after the signed NDA: a short biography or resume, a personal financial statement with proof of funds for the equity portion, and a lender pre-qualification or funding letter if the purchase will be financed. With those in hand you receive the CIM. A written non-binding indication of interest then opens the data room and access to management.
No. Kerdai Business Advisors is a marketplace. On the listings here the group represents the seller, and on the deals we found in the market we represent neither side. Buyer-side deal reviews and deal structure advice are available from Investment Consulting USA's Deal Structure Advisory, on any business the group is not selling.
No, by policy. On a business the group is selling, no company in the group provides a buyer-side review, valuation, Quality of Earnings report or due diligence, because an opinion paid for by the seller's side is not independent. Bring your own advisor, lender and attorney; we will work with them and answer their questions.
No. The seller pays the sell-side fee. Buyers pay nothing to inquire, to receive the CIM or to use the data room. Your own costs are your advisor, your lender and your attorney.
From Kerdai, the group's Quality of Earnings and appraisal company. Its work is independent and it never takes an engagement on a business the group is selling. For a lender-commissioned QofE on an SBA 7(a) acquisition, the lender engages Kerdai directly, and only where the group is not the seller's representative.
