Tell Us What You’ve Built
A short call about your business, the numbers at a high level, and what you want: a full exit, a transition over time, a role for your team. Then we’ll tell you what we think we can do.
-
We Find the Right Buyers
We identify buyers your business fits, screen them for capital and track record, and tell you who they are before any introduction is made.
-
Meet Buyers Directly
You choose which introductions to take. Conversations happen directly between you and the buyer, and we’re there whenever you want a second opinion.

Decide on Your Terms
If an offer works for you, you move forward with that buyer. If not, you walk away. Either way, you owe us nothing.
Do I need to be ready to sell?
No. Many owners we talk with are curious what their business is worth or want to understand their options before they need them. Talking with us doesn’t commit you to anything.
How does Grey Glacier get paid?
By the buyer. When a sale closes, the buyer pays our fee. You never pay us anything, whether a deal happens or not.
Will my business be listed or advertised?
No. We don’t publish listings or send your information to a list of buyers. Each introduction is made one-to-one, and only after you’ve agreed to it.
Who are the buyers?
Mostly private equity-backed companies that grow by acquiring businesses in their industry, along with family offices and strategic acquirers. We look for buyers with committed capital and a history of closing deals.
What happens to my employees?
It’s one of the first things we ask about, and it shapes which buyers we introduce. Most buyers we work with want to keep the team in place, since your people are a big part of what they’re buying.
How is this different from hiring a business broker?
A broker works for you under a contract, is usually paid out of your sale proceeds, and typically markets your business to as many buyers as possible. We don’t list your business, there’s no contract, and the buyer pays our fee. Our job is to find the few buyers your business actually fits.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
High-quality businesses with opportunity to integrate into larger businesses. We only work with businesses where we feel there is a proven buyer market for that business.
What if I don’t like the offers?
Then you walk away. You’re never obligated to accept an offer, and you won’t owe anything.
How quickly do I have to make a decision?
There is no deadline to begin exploring your options. You control whether discussions move forward, and any transaction schedule is agreed directly with the buyer.
Does Grey Glacier also buy businesses?
Sometimes. Our family office invests directly in a small number of businesses that can serve as the foundation for a larger company. If yours fits what we invest in, we’ll tell you, and you can consider us alongside other buyers. We’ll always be clear about which role we’re in.
