Sell-side M&A advisory · Portland, OR
Sell your business in Portland — on your terms.
If you're thinking "I want to sell my business in Portland," you're not alone — and you don't have to figure it out alone. I help privately held companies in Portland and Southwest Washington find the right buyer, negotiate stronger terms, and close with confidence.
No pitch deck required. Just an honest conversation about where you are and what a good exit looks like.
Why Portland owners work with me
Local advocate. National deal experience.
Actually local
I'm based in Vancouver, WA and cross the Columbia River daily. That means face-to-face meetings in Portland, Lake Oswego, Beaverton, or Hillsboro — not a Zoom link from out of state.
Confidential from day one
Your employees, customers, and competitors don't need to know you're exploring a sale until you're ready. Every outreach and buyer conversation is handled discreetly.
A competitive buyer pool
ACT's Auction Process creates real tension among qualified strategic, financial, and family-office buyers — so you're not stuck negotiating with the only party at the table.
Truth about valuation
I'll tell you what buyers are likely to pay today, what moves that number up, and whether now is even the right time. No inflated promises to win the engagement.
The process
What selling a Portland business actually looks like.
Every sale is different, but the outline is consistent: understand the owner, prepare the business, find the right buyers, and run a disciplined process that protects confidentiality and maximizes outcome.
