No mystery. No games. Just a clear path from initial conversation to ownership transition. Here's exactly what happens when you work with Brand + Bloom.
From first conversation to closing—here's what to expect at each stage.
You reach out via phone, email, or contact form. Tell us about your business—revenue, profitability, industry, location. No need for a formal deck or financials yet.
What we need:
30-minute phone call to understand the business, your situation, and determine if there's a fit. We're direct—if we're not the right buyer, we'll tell you immediately.
What we discuss:
If there's mutual interest, we request basic financials (P&L, tax returns, customer list). We review quietly and come back with a go/no-go decision and preliminary valuation range.
What we need:
We submit a non-binding LOI outlining price, structure, transition terms, and closing timeline. This is where we negotiate deal terms before spending time on due diligence.
LOI includes:
We dig into the details—financials, contracts, legal, operations. We're thorough but respectful of your time. No surprises: if we find something concerning, we address it directly.
What we review:
Legal documents are finalized, funds are transferred, and ownership changes hands. We coordinate with solicitors on both sides to make this as smooth as possible.
Closing includes:
The deal is just the beginning. Here's what happens after we take ownership.
3-6 months working together
You introduce us to the team, customers, suppliers. We shadow operations and learn the business.
You step back progressively while we take on more responsibility. You're still available for questions.
You're free to step away. We handle day-to-day operations. You can check in if you want, but you don't have to.
