What Can We Do for You?

Almost everything! Our service begins with our first conversation and doesn’t end until the closing payment lands in your bank account. All we ask is that you help fill any knowledge gaps about you and your business and approve action plans. It’s on us to deliver the right buyer and deal.
Rather than list all the services under Guided by Acquire, which you can read on our webpage, here’s a snapshot of the new, expanded services you now get included for no extra cost.
Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM)
The confidential information memorandum, or CIM, is an anonymized, executive summary of your business. It describes your business, growth opportunities, and reasons for selling, and is often the first document a buyer wants to see once your financials have piqued their interest.
The CIM Is Your Elevator Pitch
At startup sizes of $100k and over, the CIM is often the buyer’s preferred method of reviewing a business (as opposed to just the listing). They follow typical formats and structures, making it easy for buyers to find things that matter to them. Not having one is a disadvantage because it forces buyers to seek the information elsewhere, either from you, the listing, or other sources, slowing them down.
We’ll Create Your CIM For You
Jump on a quick 15-minute call with our in-house writer, answer a few quick questions about your business, and we’ll draft and design a CIM for you. No need to find an early AM or late PM slot to shift focus away from growing your business to writing about it. It’s on us.
