No Other Advisor Offers This.
We document your valuation range before we start. We stake our fee on it. If the market does not deliver a written offer at or above that floor within 12 months of going to market, you get your full preparation retainer back.
We Put Our Fee On the Line. Literally.
Before we start, we give you a documented valuation range built from real transaction data and your actual financials. That range is our stake in the ground — not a number designed to get you excited, not a vague estimate. It is the number we are willing to be held accountable to.
"If we cannot produce a written LOI from a verified buyer at or above the floor of our documented valuation range within 12 months of going to market, we refund your full preparation retainer. No conditions. No fine print."
— Pete Martin, Founder, Vestara Advisors
The range is ours, not yours
We derive the valuation range from market data and your financials — not from what you tell us you want. That removes any incentive to inflate it to win your business.
12 months from go-to-market
The clock starts when we formally begin buyer outreach — not from day one of preparation. A well-run process reaches qualified buyers within that window. If it doesn't, you get your retainer back.
A qualified offer is a written LOI
Not a verbal indication. Not a term sheet. A written Letter of Intent from a buyer we have verified as financially capable of closing, at or above the floor of the range.
Why we can offer this: We only take clients whose businesses we believe are genuinely sellable at the range we document. We turn down engagements. We do not promise outcomes we cannot deliver. This guarantee is not a marketing gimmick — it is the logical result of doing honest work before we ever ask for your business.
