PURPOSE-BUILT FOR THE FOUNDER'S JOURNEY

Selling a business is unlike any other transaction you'll ever make.

Selling a business is never just a financial decision. It’s personal in ways that are hard to explain. You’re parting with something you’ve spent years building, making sure the people who helped you grow it are taken care of, and stepping away from a chapter that has shaped your life both professionally and personally.

We exist to make sure founders don’t just get a deal done, but walk away proud of how they did it and what they got in return.

Why Raymond Leigh & Partners Exists

Before becoming an educational platform, Raymond Leigh worked closely with both business owners and the institutions that acquired them. This gave us a clear view of how deals really unfold from both sides of the table. That experience continues to shape the insights we share today.

We saw how often founders entered the process unprepared. These were strong businesses with real value but limited understanding of how buyers think, structure offers, and negotiate. The outcome was often the same. Value was left behind, control was lost, and key opportunities were missed.

Raymond Leigh & Partners was created to change that. Founders needed a safe space to explore, evaluate, and prepare before committing to a process. Someone in their corner who wasn't trying to rush them to market or buy their business.

Our mission is to help founders understand how to position their business, prepare for a sale, and time their exit so they can achieve the best possible outcome and exit for the highest value.

Power Through Understanding

We believe founders should understand M&A as well as any banker. Knowledge shifts power back to you—where it belongs.

What Drives Valuation

Beyond simple EBITDA multiples, we'll teach you the 20+ factors that can swing your value by millions: recurring revenue percentage, customer concentration, management depth, competitive moats, and growth trajectory.

Deal Structure Mastery

Understanding the difference between asset and stock sales, how working capital adjustments work, and why earnouts rarely pay out helps you negotiate from strength, not hope.

The Human Side

We prepare you for the emotional journey—the stress of due diligence, the loneliness of secrecy, the complexity of letting go. Being psychologically prepared is as important as having clean financials.

EVERY GREAT EXIT STARTS WITH BEING READY

Don't enter the market wondering if you're prepared. Know exactly where you stand, what to expect, and how to maximize your outcome.
