Find Your Stage

What does your situation look like right now?

The right support depends on where you are in the process. Choose the stage that best matches your situation and we’ll point you toward the services that typically make sense.

Business broker, M&A advisor, or deal origination firm? DueDilio gives intermediaries a trusted bench of vetted providers to refer clients to — without disrupting your existing relationships.

DueDilio works with SMB and lower middle market transactions — including ones with complex financials, unusual structures, or tight timelines. If you’re not sure whether your deal qualifies, just ask.

Founder Advisory Session

Make informed hiring decisions — before you spend a dollar.

A private 1:1 session focused entirely on your transaction — what services you need, what order to hire them in, what a reasonable budget looks like, and which types of providers fit your situation.

At a moment when every other professional on your deal has their own interests, this is time that’s entirely yours.

Buyers use the session to determine which diligence and advisory services they need, how to sequence them, and what realistic budgets look like.

Sellers use it to understand what to address before market, what buyers are likely to scrutinize, and which specialists to engage.

The Founder Advisory Session is $399 and is purchased separately from DueDilio platform access. If you later submit a project, lifetime platform access is an additional $149.

I came to DueDilio not knowing what I needed — just that I was under LOI and running out of time. Within 24 hours I had proposals from three QofE firms and a clear sense of what the process looked like. I wish I’d found it sooner.

Service Areas

Understand the four M&A service areas

A plain-English overview of what each service area covers, who it’s for, and when it typically applies.

Most Requested

Due Diligence

A structured investigation of the business you’re buying — its financials, legal standing, operations, and more. This is how you verify what the seller is telling you and surface risks before you close.

Typically needed when

You’re under LOI and have 30–60 days to complete diligence. Includes Quality of Earnings (QofE), legal due diligence, financial DD, and operational reviews.

Learn about Due Diligence

Buy-Side Services

An experienced advisor on your side of the table. They help you evaluate the deal, assess pricing, structure the offer, and navigate negotiations — especially valuable for first-time buyers.

Typically needed when

You’re evaluating a specific deal and want experienced guidance on analysis, pricing, or negotiation before you’re committed.

Learn about Buy-Side

Sell-Side Services

Support for business owners preparing to exit — business valuation, buyer positioning, CIM preparation, and representation during negotiations to maximize sale value.

Typically needed when

You’re a business owner considering an exit in the next 6–24 months, or already in discussions with buyers and want professional representation at the table.

Learn about Sell-Side

Post-Acquisition Support

The work that starts after close — accounting setup, legal entity restructuring, HR onboarding, and operational integration. Getting this right in the first 90 days sets the foundation for everything that follows.

Typically needed when

You’ve closed and need accounting, bookkeeping, legal restructuring, HR setup, or operational support to transition the business under new ownership.
