Archveo Advisors helps owners of distribution 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.
Distribution and wholesale businesses attract steady buyer demand, especially those with sticky customers, exclusive supplier relationships, and disciplined inventory management.
Archveo runs a confidential, competitive process, reaching strategic and financial buyers directly and staying involved from valuation through closing while you keep serving customers.
Distribution businesses generally trade on a multiple of EBITDA. Where a specific company lands depends on supplier and customer relationships, inventory turns, margin quality, and customer concentration.
The ranges shown are illustrative of the lower middle market. Your real valuation is built from comparable transactions and current buyer demand, and reviewed with you directly.

Two businesses with the same revenue can sell for very different multiples. These are the factors buyers reward most, and the ones we help you position before going to market.
Rather than waiting for whoever happens to inquire, we identify and approach the buyers who fit your business and bring them into a confidential, competitive process.
Every business is different, but a well run sale generally follows five stages, each actively managed from the first conversation to the closing wire.
