The PE Letter Decoder

Got a letter or an offer for your business?

I'll tell you what it's really worth, and what they're not telling you.

Offer Review · $7,500 flat

Delivered in 1–2 weeks · credited against any future success fee.

What you get

What the price really means. The multiple they're actually paying, once you strip out the framing.
The terms that matter more than the price. Earnouts, seller notes, escrows, working-capital pegs, and rollover equity — where the real money is won or lost.
What to push back on. The specific points worth negotiating, and the language to use.
Whether to run a process instead. An honest read on whether one competitive process would beat the offer in front of you.

If we later sell the business together, the Offer Review fee is credited back against the success fee.

I've worked on more than 50 transactions and sold my own company. You'll be talking to the person who reads the deal, not a junior analyst.
