An owner evaluating the firm can compare the stated lower-middle-market focus, $1 million to $25 million EBITDA range, exit-strategy support, buyer-targeting approach, and valuation capabilities with the needs of a potential transaction.

An owner should therefore confirm the proposed engagement structure, fee mechanics, buyer-outreach methodology, valuation scope, conflicts, confidentiality protections, lead advisor, and recent closed-deal references directly with the firm.[1][2][5]
