Whether you’re under LOI, evaluating an opportunity, preparing to sell, or simply unsure where to start, DueDilio helps you identify the right services and providers for your situation.
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.
You’re exploring a possible acquisition or considering a future sale, but you’re still figuring out what the process looks like, what professional support you may need, and what it typically costs.
You’re looking at a specific business and trying to decide if it’s worth pursuing — or you’ve found something you like and want an advisor in your corner before you submit an offer or sign anything.
You have a signed LOI and a due diligence window — probably 30 to 60 days. You know you need professionals but you’re not sure which ones, in what order, or what it should cost. This is where most DueDilio projects begin.
You own a business and you’re starting to think seriously about an exit — or you’ve already received interest from a buyer and you’re not sure what to ask for, what to sign, or how to protect yourself in early conversations.
The deal is done and now the real work starts — setting up accounting, restructuring legal entities, onboarding employees, and transitioning the business under new ownership. The first 90 days matter more than most buyers expect.
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.
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.
A plain-English overview of what each service area covers, who it’s for, and when it typically applies.
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.
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.
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.
You’re evaluating a specific deal and want experienced guidance on analysis, pricing, or negotiation before you’re committed.
Support for business owners preparing to exit — business valuation, buyer positioning, CIM preparation, and representation during negotiations to maximize sale value.
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.
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.
You’ve closed and need accounting, bookkeeping, legal restructuring, HR setup, or operational support to transition the business under new ownership.
