What should a business owner evaluate before hiring Madfarm Advisors?

An owner evaluating the firm should clarify the geographic markets and buyer types it actively covers, the proposed fee and expense structure, the services and responsibilities Madfarm and any separately engaged professionals would handle, and the level and duration of owner transition support expected under the engagement. Owners considering a full sale, recapitalization, or minority-retention outcome should also ask how Madfarm handles each transaction structure and what references can be shared under confidentiality.[1][2][3][9]
