We can buy or invest in your
business in under 60 days.
Day 1: Introductory Call
We have a 30-minute introductory call to learn about your story and values and see if we can help.
Day 2: Mutual NDA
We sign a mutual NDA so that the details of your business are legally protected.
Day 3: Simple Information Share
We provide a basic list of information we would need (financials, unit financials, your desired role going forward, etc.), and you send over what you can, when you can.
Day 5: Letter Of Intent
Based on the information, we will provide you a simple term sheet with a valuation of your business. If you agree with it and want to move forward, then we would both sign a Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI is a nonbinding document that formalizes our agreement and gets both sides aligned on the smaller points before diligence.
Day 30 - 60:
Due Diligence Period
We begin and complete due diligence over the next 30-60 days, depending on the complexity of your business.
Day 60: Sign And

We believe in win-win outcomes and reputation is everything. We know that partnering or selling your business outright can be stressful and exhausting. So, we have designed our process to be quick and painless.
They were both professional in their approach, which is different than what I have experienced. I always felt that our negotiations were transparent and fair.
you are in good hands.
Quick, easy and transparent. They don't play any games and move quickly and honestly. I would gladly work with them again. Good guys.
I've grown my business organically and it means something to me to keep it growing. They made it clear how serious they were about the business, employees and growth; that is what I cared about. A true class act.
We’d love to hear from you!
We created Cloudspire to create a true long-term home for your company. We would love to get to know you and your business!

Questions
What is the value of my business?
There are many factors that determine a business's value, so it's difficult to provide exact guidance. These factors include size, age, growth, profitability, unit economics, and more. However, we promise to provide quick valuation feedback on any potential partnership if you choose to engage with us. Further, we promise to be equitable in everything we do.
What are our backgrounds?
Our team is led by experienced operators and world-class M&A professionals. We believe we can add value relating to your business’s operations, finance, and other miscellaneous services and be great partners to you.
How does the payout structure generally work?
We can be flexible in how we structure our partnership and we'll tailor it to your goals. We structure some deals as all-cash payouts. We structure other deals with an 'equity roll' component (i.e. you will keep minority ownership) or with an earn-out or seller-note component (i.e. you are partially paid cash upfront and then receive the remainder of proceeds over time). Further, we typically keep the current operating team in place with an equitable industry compensation package. People are the heart and soul of Cloudspire, and we can make sure our team members know that!
Can I stay on and continue to manage my business?
Absolutely! In fact, we love to work with business owners that want to stay-on-board post transaction (and keep getting paid!). Of course, if you want to cash out and enjoy the margaritas, we can accommodate that as well.
Do I have to sign a non-compete after I sell?
Yes, non-competes and non-solicits are commonplace in any M&A transaction. As with everything we do, we try to work with the seller and be highly reasonable in our approach to these documents. If this is a sticking point for you, just let us know.
Why do I have to share all of our information?
We try to keep the information requests to a minimum until we get to an agreement on valuation and key terms. Once we are aligned, we launch a quick due diligence process to validate numbers. We pride ourselves on being quick and easy to work with. If we enter a preliminary agreement with you, it means we trust you as a partner. When that is the case, we don't sweat the small stuff!
