A real scenario showing how DueDilio connects sellers with vetted sell-side specialists — from project submission to engagement.
A second-generation owner wanted to understand the business’s current value and what improvements to make over the next year before going to market — including cleaner financials, stronger processes, and less owner dependency.
Owner completed the intake form in 5 minutes — business details, revenue range, exit timeline, and the type of guidance and support needed.
By end of day, 7 vetted service providers had submitted proposals — valuation analysts, exit planners, and firms offering both.
Owner narrowed to 3 finalists, scheduled calls through the platform, and selected based on experience with service businesses and exit timelines.
The owner selected a firm for a preliminary valuation and 12-month exit-readiness plan, identifying more than $400K in potential value improvements before going to market.

“Roman and the DueDilio team were the absolute best from our initial intro call all the way through connecting me with qualified resources for our acquisition. They helped me navigate my proposal, kept me informed along the way, and fulfilled everything they said they would.
“The platform was incredibly easy to use and allowed me to create a detailed proposal that accurately reflected my needs. Within a short amount of time, I received responses from highly qualified and reasonably priced providers — all professional and courteous throughout.
“I was very impressed by the quality of M&A professionals that submitted proposals for my deal. Highly experienced, highly trained, and highly educated — adding a great deal of value to my transaction from the very start.
Book a 1:1 Founder Advisory Session — a working call with DueDilio’s founder to talk through your deal, your stage, services, hiring, budget, and timeline. Afterward, you get ongoing 1:1 e-mail access to me throughout your M&A journey. Strategic guidance, not legal or financial advice.
Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most from business owners at every stage of the exit process.
Every provider in DueDilio’s network goes through a multi-step vetting process before they can receive projects — evaluating M&A transaction experience, professional credentials, deal-size fit, and client references. The majority of applicants are declined. Providers compete for your project on the strength of their qualifications, not their firm name, and those who consistently underperform are removed from the network.
Not at all. Some of the most valuable work happens before you go to market — getting an independent valuation, understanding what buyers will scrutinize, and cleaning up financials. Engaging service providers 12–24 months before a planned exit gives you time to act on what you learn and maximize value. Submit a project describing where you are and providers will scope accordingly.
Yes, and most brokers will tell you the same. Your broker manages the sale process and finds the buyer — they are not your attorney or your tax advisor. Sell-side legal counsel protects you in the purchase agreement. A tax advisor structures the transaction to minimize your liability at closing. Neither role overlaps with your broker, and missing either creates real exposure on a transaction of any size.
Your only payment to DueDilio is the $149 one-time platform access fee. Provider fees vary by service type and scope — legal counsel is typically hourly or flat-fee, valuation providers charge by scope and complexity, and tax advisors vary by engagement structure. You pay providers directly, not through DueDilio. Submitting a project is the fastest way to get accurate pricing — proposals include detailed fees so you can compare before committing.
Once you submit, DueDilio matches your project to vetted providers whose experience fits your deal profile. Those providers review your project and submit structured proposals — including scope, timeline, and pricing. You receive proposals directly in your dashboard, can review anonymous provider profiles, message providers, and schedule calls. There’s no obligation to hire from any proposal you receive. If none are the right fit, you’re under no pressure to move forward.
Submit your project in about 5 minutes. We'll match you with qualified service providers who specialize in business exits — proposals often start arriving within the first hour.
