Full-Service M&A Advisory
You get one chance to sell your company. We’ve closed 450+ deals.
Next Point is a full-service M&A advisory firm working with owners of industrial and healthcare businesses nationwide — from the first question to the closing table, we run the entire process.
Which of these sound like you?
You get more when buyers compete for you.
We build the Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM), run it past buyers a standard list won’t find, and negotiate every term until the closing number beats what the first offer would’ve gotten you.
CIM built around what buyers pay for: revenue quality, growth, market position
75,000+ company database and AI sourcing surface buyers most brokers miss
We negotiate proceeds, not headline price
Your first offer is rarely your best one.
An unsolicited buyer wants you signed before anyone else finds out you’re for sale — that’s leverage for them, not a compliment to you. Take the meeting. Just know what a real process would get you first.
We read the letter of intent (LOI) with you, line by line
A defensible range to measure it against
No obligation to run a process if the offer holds up
What you fix today, buyers pay for later.
Two or three years is enough time to fix what buyers discount — and long enough for the fix to actually show up in the numbers.

A sequenced punch list, ranked by value impact
Quarterly check-ins as the business changes
A transition everyone can live with.
You already know who’s taking over. The value, structure, and financing still have to hold up — to the bank, the IRS, and the family members not buying in.

Notes, earnouts, rollover, or ESOP mechanics

Focused sector expertise for better M&A outcomes
We know your industry.
Industrial & business
We talk to hundreds of buyers and sellers every month, giving us unique insight into these industries’ evaluation criteria and metrics.
Proof of judgment
Recent transactions.
Navigating the M&A process is never easy, but Jui and the Next Point team were with us every step of the way. Their guidance through this complex and lengthy journey was invaluable, helping us maximize value and achieve the outcome we were hoping for.

Owner, multi-location dental practice
They told us what a buyer would question before a buyer ever asked. By the time we went to market, the answers were already in the numbers.
Owner name
Owner, precision fabrication company — placeholder quote
We had one offer on the table and thought that was the market. Next Point ran a real process and we closed well above where we started.
Owner name
Owner, industrial services company — placeholder quote
Most of the owners we work with came to us the same way — a quiet question years before a decision. Read their stories →
What the work teaches
450+ transactions have taught us a few things.
After hundreds of transactions you learn which issues buyers actually care about, when an attractive offer becomes a bad deal, and where value slips away between LOI and closing.
A good deal has to work for you.
The right deal isn’t just one that closes. It’s the one that fits your financial, professional and personal goals.
One buyer isn’t the market.
An unsolicited offer tells you what one buyer will pay. A real process tells you what the market will pay.
The full economics of the deal matter.
It’s not just the number at the top. Working capital, rollover equity, earnouts, employment terms and taxes can separate two offers that looked identical.
An offer isn’t a finish line.
Diligence is where leverage shifts and value erodes. The right team protects the economics of the deal through closing.
FAQs
The questions we get before the first meeting.
How do I know what my company is worth?
A real number comes from what comparable businesses in your sector actually sold for, adjusted for your margins, customer concentration and how much the business depends on you. We give you a defensible range early, not a flattering one.
When should I start talking to an advisor?
Earlier than most owners do. A year or two of lead time lets you clean up the things that cost multiple points at diligence. Starting early costs nothing and rarely hurts.
Will my employees or competitors find out?
Not from us. Buyers see a blind profile first and sign an NDA before they learn who you are. Confidentiality is a process design decision, and we design for it from day one.
What does it cost?
A modest retainer that covers preparation, and a success fee at closing. If the deal doesn’t close, the bulk of our compensation doesn’t happen.
Let’s talk about your options.
An hour on the phone will tell you more about your choices than another year of wondering. And if the honest answer is now isn’t the right time to sell, that’s what we’ll tell you.
Confidential, no obligation, and no fee unless we close.
