Archveo Advisors helps owners of business-services businesses in the New York metro area sell to the right buyer, confidentially and at the right price. We manage the full transaction, from valuation and preparation through buyer outreach, negotiation, and closing.
Every engagement is led directly by Eric Mendelsohn, Founder and Principal of Archveo Advisors, who has personally completed more than 25 business transactions across the lower middle market.
Business-services companies with contracted, recurring revenue and strong retention are highly sought after, because the earnings are predictable and easy to finance.
Archveo prepares the business to show that recurring base and runs a confidential, competitive process, staying involved from valuation through closing.
Business-services companies generally trade on a multiple of owner earnings or EBITDA. Where a specific company lands depends on contracted recurring revenue, customer retention, concentration, and margin quality.
