Services
Sellside
If you want to sell your government contracting business, we can determine what makes you stand out, from agency relationships to technical expertise. We use these and other details to attract the right buyers, giving your business the attention and value it deserves while protecting your legacy.
We work with GovCon companies with small business designations all the way up to companies that are 100% full and open. In our view, your company is a portfolio of its contracts. We review critical factors like:
- The actual work being done
- The agencies being served
- The period of performance on existing contracts
- Whether contracts are coming up for recompete
- The level of customer intimacy
- Your company’s ability to shape new proposals
We also focus on details like the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), past performance, funded backlog, pipeline, skill level of employees, clearances and more.
We help you achieve a deeper understanding of how buyers in the GovCon marketplace, from strategics to private equity, might evaluate your business, including the types of questions they may ask and financials they may seek along the way. Our team does an extensive analysis to better understand how your business stands apart from other GovCon deals. We then develop compelling narratives and effective marketing materials that will attract the right GovCon buyer interest and create a personalized prospective buyer pool for you.
GovCon transitions can be structured in different ways, depending on various limitations. It is important to have an M&A adviser who understands the regulations around GovCon deals at a deep level and works actively in the space.

Once we find the right fit, our team will conduct initial due diligence, provide guidance on a go/no go decision, then assist with structuring and negotiating transactions on your behalf and through closing.
