Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ

What’s the first step in selling my business?

At Contango Investments, we begin by aligning your long-term goals with an exit strategy that builds value from the inside out. We evaluate operations, leadership, financials, and transferability to get your business exit-ready—ideally two years before going to market.

We have years of experience in helping Specialty Contractors (HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing), Manufacturing Companies, Distribution Companies, and Accounting Practice owners determine when and how to sell their companies.

How do you determine what my business is worth?

We use real-world M&A benchmarks, cash flow analysis, and proprietary tools like The Value Builder System™ to assess both current value and hidden potential. It’s not just about EBITDA—it’s about transferability, scalability, and buyer fit.

How long does it usually take to sell a business?

Sales timelines vary, but deals often take 6–12 months. With proper preparation, we reduce risk, accelerate diligence, and improve closing odds—especially in businesses with clean books, leadership continuity, and recurring revenue.

Can the sale process stay confidential?

Absolutely. We operate discreetly with NDAs and blind profiles. Key details are only shared with vetted, serious buyers under confidentiality agreements—protecting your employees, customers, and vendors throughout.

How does Contango Investments, Inc. help buyers find the right business?

We go beyond listings. We help buyers clarify their acquisition criteria, conduct targeted outreach, and assess opportunities based on strategic fit and ROI. We’re matchmakers—pairing the right business with the right buyer. When we get the right buyer and the right seller together, good deals happen.

Can I buy a business with limited capital?

It’s possible. We help buyers explore structures like seller financing, SBA loans, and investor-backed acquisitions. Creative deal structuring is one of our strengths.

How is a business’s value calculated?

We assess financial performance, risk, growth potential, industry comps, and intangible value. Then we model what a buyer would realistically pay based on current market demand and deal trends.

Do you provide valuations for service businesses?

Yes—we’ve worked across sectors including contracting, accounting, engineering, distribution, and more. We tailor our valuation insights to the business model, buyer profile, and market dynamics.

What services does Contango Investments, Inc. provide?

We guide owners through the full M&A lifecycle—from exit planning and valuation to buyer sourcing, negotiations, and deal execution. Our work is rooted in maximizing transferable value, minimizing deal risk, and aligning incentives.

How do you maintain confidentiality?

We treat discretion as non-negotiable. All inquiries are anonymous, and marketing materials are scrubbed of identifying information until a buyer is under NDA and properly qualified.

Why choose Contango Investments, Inc. over a traditional broker?

We aren’t just deal makers—we’re value builders. Our approach combines strategic advisory, operational improvement, and expert deal execution. We help owners exit on their terms—and at their peak.

Still have questions? We’re happy to talk strategy, valuation, or next steps in confidence. Reach out to Schedule a Call for a confidential discussion.
