Before the Sale: What a Sell-Side M&A Process Really Looks Like (Upcoming Webinar)

July 30, 2026

Live Webinar | August 20 | 12 PM ET | 9 AM PT

The sale doesn’t start when your business goes to market. So, when does it begin?

Most business owners spend years building their companies but give very little thought to what happens before the sale. Yet many of the decisions that shape a successful transaction are made long before a buyer is at the table.

Join Jordan Houtz, Managing Director, on August 20, 2026, at 12 PM ET or 9 AM PT for a behind-the-scenes look at the sell-side M&A process. Leveraging his experience from both the buy-side and sell-side of M&A, Jordan will provide an insider’s perspective on how buyers assess businesses, what drives valuation, and the steps owners can take today to better position their businesses before entering the market.
