Acquisitions & DIVESTITURES
A&D Consulting
With over $250 million in transaction experience, we provide the strategic advisory required to structure, negotiate, and close deals.
Why Partner With Stragentic?
Over $1.4 billion in capital deployment experience. More than $30 million raised. Deals closed north of $250 million.
We have sat on both sides of the table as founders, operators, and advisors. We understand what actually matters to an entrepreneur during a transaction. We combine that deep operational experience with proprietary AI technology to execute deals faster and more accurately than traditional advisory firms.
When you are buying or selling a business, you need advisors who have done this before. We have the track record to prove it, and the technology to scale it.
BUY SIDE - ACQUISITION ADVISORY
We find deals that aren't on the market.
We build custom AI agents to automate the most time-consuming parts of the acquisition process. Hunter is our proprietary sourcing agent. It runs continuously to identify cash-flowing businesses that match your exact investment thesis.
Hunter is just one example of how we deploy AI to create an advantage. It handles the outreach and initial screening, while our AC-36 evaluation framework scores every candidate on stabilized cash flow and upside potential. You only review curated deal memos for businesses worth your time.
How it works:
- You define the deal box: industry, geography, revenue band, EBITDA, owner profile
- Hunter runs continuous outreach to founders who aren't actively selling
- AC-36 scores every candidate on two axes: stabilized cash flow and upside
- We deliver curated deal memos, not raw data dumps
You skip the auction. You skip the bidding war. You skip three years of cold-calling.
Best for: First-time acquirers, family offices building deal flow without a sourcing team, strategic acquirers running thesis-driven roll-ups.
SELL SIDE - EXIT PREPARATION
Most owners leave 20 to 40% on the table at exit. We fix that before you sell.
Buyers price risk. Owner dependency, messy books, weak documentation, and customer concentration all get baked into the discount. We prepare your business so buyers cannot punish you for those gaps.
To accelerate this preparation, we deploy specialized AI tools like Ace. Ace is our sell-side documentation agent. It rapidly organizes your data room, normalizes financial records, and helps build an institutional-grade Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM). Like Hunter on the buy-side, Ace is one of dozens of custom agents we use to execute complex work faster and more accurately than traditional advisory firms.
What we do:
- Financial cleanup: normalized P&L, Quality of Earnings-ready add-backs, clear margin story
- Owner-dependency removal: SOPs, successor roles, the business runs without you
- Operational polish: website, brand assets, customer concentration framing
- CIM build: institutional-grade Confidential Information Memorandum
- Data room: indexed, organized, due-diligence-ready before the first IOI lands
- Negotiation coaching: management presentations, IOI and LOI response strategy
Begin Early: Most owners start prep when they want to sell. By then it's already too late. Starting 12 to 36 months before your exit gives you time to add the multiple your business actually deserves.
Best for: Owners 12 to 36 months from exit, owners told by a broker they're "not ready," owners who got a lowball LOI and want to know why.
