Sell-Side Advisory

A Client-First Approach to Multi-Unit M&A

Sell-side advisory is the core of the Main & Main practice. We represent multi-unit operators through the full sale process: valuation, positioning, and a competitive, confidential process designed to secure premium value for the business you have built.

Every engagement is tailored to the priorities of the seller. We run every workstream from preparation through closing, so you stay focused on operating your business while the transaction moves forward in the background.

Main & Main Sell-Side Process

No two sale processes are the same. We tailor every engagement to the priorities of our client to drive a controlled outcome and the full value of what they’ve built. We carry the diligence, real estate assignments, and the definitive documents through closing, and we are not finished until every condition is met and our client is paid.

Preparation

  • • Detailed financial statement analysis to establish operating trends and maximize valuation to buyers
  • • Buyer universe mapping across strategic acquirers, operators, and financial sponsors
  • • Confidential information memorandum (CIM) and management presentation materials
  • • Secure data room setup and full diligence document preparation

Marketing

  • • Confidential outreach to pre-qualified strategic and financial buyers under NDA
  • • Pre-marketing with select buyers to assess pricing and gauge interest
  • • Share summary materials with the broader buyer universe
  • • Structure a competitive process designed to drive multiple offers

Diligence

  • • Request and evaluate Indications of Interest (IOIs) from qualified buyers
  • • Manage all diligence workstreams: financial, operational, legal, lease
  • • Coordinate management presentations, site visits, and Q&A sessions
  • • Maintain process momentum to drive a competitive bid to LOI

Closing

  • • Negotiate definitive agreements and best terms for sellers
  • • Protect the agreed price from being renegotiated before close
  • • Coordinate counsel and manage closing logistics
  • • Oversee transition to ensure a clean handoff to the new operator
