Business Valuation and
Deal Support
Maximize deal value and minimize risk with due diligence and financial intelligence to make informed decisions from the valuation through the transaction.
Fortis Business Advisors provides comprehensive M&A, valuation, and transaction advisory services specifically tailored to the unique needs of small businesses. Whether a business is being sold, acquired, or managed through a distressed situation, our owner-led approach combines deep business ownership experience with turnaround and restructuring expertise to maximize value and minimize risk throughout every stage of the transaction.
For sellers, we focus on enhancing business value by identifying key drivers, addressing operational and financial challenges, and optimizing assets, including the ability to monetize inventory and equipment if the business does not sell. For buyers, we mitigate risks through thorough due diligence, accurate valuations, and practical integration strategies designed from small business realities. Our unique combination of transaction advisory and restructuring experience allows us to guide stakeholders through complex scenarios, from growth acquisitions to distressed asset sales.
We provide holistic valuations that blend asset, income, and market approaches, incorporating crisis-tested insights to justify pricing and support informed decision making. Our hands-on support spans from initial strategy and due diligence to post-transaction integration, including cash flow forecasting, working capital optimization, and aligning the interests of owners, lenders, and advisors. For business brokers and professional advisors, we serve as a trusted partner to validate deals, resolve valuations disputes, and expedite sales in distressed situations. For lenders and investors, we offer transparency into collateral value and operational viability, helping to protect their interests. Fortis is a trusted advisor to owners because we have firsthand experience navigating the challenges of small business ownership. Whether a business is transitioning out, scaling up, or seeking to preserve value in difficult times, we deliver the clarity and confidence needed to turn complexity into opportunity.
