Our Process
At 1PM Capital, we believe the best transactions are simple, transparent, and respectful of the owner’s time.
Our Process
We start with a confidential conversation to learn more about your business and discuss your goals for a transition.
If there is mutual interest, we review high-level financial information and learn more about your operations.
Once we determine the business is a good fit, we present a Letter of Intent outlining the proposed purchase terms.
During due diligence, we conduct a deeper review of the business while working collaboratively with the owner.
Once financing and documentation are finalized, we complete the acquisition and ensure a smooth transition for employees and customers.
