Hey Searchfunder, 

I am working with an Owner/Operator being approached by various players in his space seeking to acquire their business. There is loads of info out there on buy-side affordability, but sell-side info is a bit more sparse. 

We are looking for a conversation around valuation methodologies/sale strategy all the way up to paid sell-side advisory. 

High level details: Major metro market, >50% recurring revenue, ###-###-#### 5M EBIDTA. Multiple indications of interest. Off-market but considering sale. 

Thanks,
Ivan
