List Your Company - Our Process

Selling your business is one of the most important decisions you’ll make and we’re here to make it seamless, confidential, and rewarding.

Our step-by-step process ensures your company is positioned to attract the right buyers and achieve the best possible outcome.

1. Reach out to Deal Arc

What happens first
We start with an initial conversation to understand your goals, expectations, and unique business story. This helps us tailor the process to fit your needs and timeline.

​

What to prepare

  • High-level overview of your business and industry

  • Your preferred deal timeline

  • Any initial questions you have about valuation or process

2. Engagement Letter & Preperation

Why this matters
The Engagement Letter formalizes our working relationship, ensuring confidentiality and clarity around roles, timelines, and expectations.

​

What happens next

  • Sign the Engagement Letter

  • Hold Q&A sessions with our team

  • Gather operational, financial, and strategic information

  • Prepare the Confidential Information Summary (“CIS”)​

 

What to prepare

  • Legal entity details

  • Recent financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)

  • Key operational and strategic highlights

3. List Company on Deal Arc & Enable Conversations

Why this works
We showcase your company to a pool of buyers, ensuring your opportunity is presented in the best possible light while maintaining confidentiality.

​​

What happens

  • Your listing is published to Deal Arc's buyer network

  • We manage all inbound interest

  • Our team screens inquiries to ensure only serious, qualified buyers get access to sensitive information

 

What to prepare

  • Approved copy and imagery for your listing

  • Any deal preferences or requirements

4. Receive Letters of Intent ("LOI")

Purpose
LOIs are non-binding proposals that set out the terms under which a buyer wishes to acquire your business. An LOI will form the basis for negotiations before advancing to Due Diligence.

 

What we do

  • Present LOIs for your review

  • Advise on strengths, weaknesses, and negotiation points

  • Coordinate counteroffers and buyer discussions

 

What a strong LOI includes

  • Purchase price and structure

  • Payment terms (cash, equity, earn-outs)

  • Key conditions and timelines

5. Final Due Diligence and Closing

What to expect
Once an LOI is accepted, we guide you through exclusivity, confirmatory due diligence, and closing. Our role is to keep the process moving smoothly while protecting your interests.

 

Typical workstreams

  • Financial: quality of earnings, tax review

  • Legal: contracts, IP, regulatory

  • Operational: systems, supply chain, HR

  • Closing: legal agreements, funds transfer, post-close transition
