What to Expect

No surprises. You'll always know what comes next.

Selling the business you built is a big decision, and the unknowns are the hardest part. So here's the whole process laid out plainly — what happens, what we'll ask of you, and what you can count on from us.

The Process

From first call to close.

Every step is at your pace. You can slow down, ask questions, or step away at any point — nothing moves forward without you.

  1. Confidential intro call

    About 30 minutes, no obligation. We get to know you and your business, and you get to size us up.

  2. NDA + preliminary financials

    We sign a mutual NDA before looking at a single number, then review preliminary financials.

  3. Site visit

    We come to you — to see the facility and talk with you and your team in person.

  4. LOI issued

    A written offer laying out terms plainly, typically within 2–3 weeks of the intro call.

  5. ~60-day diligence

    A thorough but straightforward review. We keep you updated the whole way through.

  6. Close + transition

    We finalize and plan the transition together, then stay alongside you through it.

What We Ask For

The basics, and nothing exotic.

To understand your business, we need a handful of standard documents — the same ones any serious buyer would ask for. No scavenger hunts, no endless requests.

  • Tax returns (3 years)

    The standard starting point for understanding the business.

  • Profit & loss statement

    How the facility actually performs, month to month.

  • Kennel license

    Confirmation you're licensed and in good standing.

  • Lease (or property details)

    The terms on your building, whether you rent or own.

  • Staff roster

    Who's on your team and their roles — so we understand the people, not just the numbers.

What You Can Expect From Us

The way we'll treat you along the way.

Diligence is where a lot of deals get stressful or sour. We work hard to make ours the opposite.

Regular diligence updates

You'll never be left wondering where things stand. We check in on a steady cadence and tell you plainly what we've found.

No games during diligence

The number in the LOI is the number we mean to honor. If diligence ever surfaces something material, we'll talk it through with you openly — not spring a quiet last-minute markdown on you.

Decision-makers available to you

You talk directly with the people who can actually make calls — not a rotating cast of analysts or a deal desk.

After the Close

The relationship doesn't end at the closing table.

A lot of buyers disappear once the papers are signed. For us, close is the start of the partnership — not the finish line.

First 90 days

We're close at hand as the transition settles — sorting out the back-office handoff so day-to-day care never skips a beat.

6-month check-in

A deliberate step back to see how things are going, what's working, and where we can take more off your plate.

Ongoing quarterly reviews

A regular rhythm of working together — sharing what we're learning across the community and planning what's next.

Still Have Questions?

Let's walk through it together.

The best way to understand how this would work for your facility is a plain, confidential conversation. We'll answer anything you want to know — no obligation either way.
