Sage Intermediaries is an advisory firm that offers turnkey, sell-side M&A advisory services. In other words, we help business owners sell their businesses.
Drawing from 38 years working as a commercial lender, I discovered time and again the need for good intermediaries to help business owners pass through what can be a lengthy, complicated, and emotional process when they decide to sell their business.

Learning about a business inside and out is key to being able to successfully represent that business to potential buyers. We devote a strategic amount of time to this at the start of the process to insure success.
Our mission is to serve our client and to act as their representative throughout the sale process. This becomes more important as the process progresses through the negotiation and closing stages.
Representing a company for sale requires a sound marketing strategy that can showcase the businesses strengths in the best light to prospective buyers. We pride ourselves on finding the 'diamonds in the rough' of seemingly similar businesses to accentuate their value proposition.
Partnering with our clients is the best part of our job. The sales process can take several months to come to fruition and we get to know our clients well during this time. Likewise, finding a buyer who shares the same values of the owner is always our goal so as to preserve the community that is the business - that includes the jobs of the current employees and the business's standing in its community.
