One offer is not a market.
An inbound approach is useful information. It confirms that someone sees value in what you have built. It does not tell you what the company is worth in a competitive process.
One buyer can make an offer. Only a market can create price discovery.
Why a single-buyer negotiation changes the balance
When one buyer negotiates alone, the structural advantage sits with the buyer: no independent reference point for price, no competing timeline, and few alternatives if terms change late in diligence.
That affects more than headline value. Earn-outs, rollover equity, escrows, warranties and other terms determine what you ultimately receive.
A structured process changes the physics. Credible alternatives create price discovery, and leverage when terms are negotiated.
The interested buyer can stay in the process
You do not have to choose between the buyer who approached you and the wider market. A discreet, targeted process can keep that buyer engaged while testing what other credible parties will pay.
Competition may improve the original offer, produce a better buyer, or confirm that the first proposal was already the strongest. Each outcome replaces assumption with evidence.
A second opinion answers three questions
What is the company realistically worth?
We look at the metrics and structures buyers in your sector actually price.
Who else could credibly want it?
We map strategic and financial buyers across Europe and the Americas.
What is the best
next step?
Negotiate bilaterally, test the market, or wait and prepare. We will tell you when we believe the offer already on the table is a good one.
